Re: Help id French clarinet with unique feature (locking pivot screws)

I saw this when you first posted it. And looked around.

But in looking more closely at the pictures I was thinking that the pivot locking screws *and* the post locking screws were added to the clarinet.

I think the pivot locking screws were added as there are many key rods that are short - look at the long C keyrod - the top has a huge gap. And thus post locking screws to keep the posts in place as the rods are short(ened).

Here's a few identifiers to figure out the clarinet.
It has the Throat Bb adjuster, and separate posts
But it has a flat sheet trill key guide.
and the lower ring keys, the ring arms, the body appears to have cutouts for the arms as the mechanism is close to the body ?? Also look at the ring key posts, the bases are totally different.
Top pad cup arm appears to be curved.
Also does the upper joint C#/G# key have a flat spring?

maybe someone put together a clarinet from spare parts and had to add all the locking screws to keep it together.
