 Re: Topper Clarinet (made in England?)

I have had a Topper b/ clarinet for 60 years. Same topper with top at logo on the bell. It was a hand me down so I have no other information on it. The case fell apart when I was younger and moving around. It has the same hourglass shape that you describe. Unfortunately a key is broken. The pickup that joins the two halves together and closes the opening between mid-register E and D. So unplayable. Don't know if it can be repaired; may have to find another to canabalize the key. The barrel and bell are in very bad shape as they are plastic and the finish is gone. No sign of "Made in England" but it does have 54B21 embossed on the upper joint with the barrel.

I haven't played in many years but now that I have time I am trying again. Purchased a LeBlanc at an estate sale. Back to the 1.5 reeds to build my embouchure.
