 Conn Bass Clarinet Opinions?
Author: OmoCrater

I am thinking about buying a Conn bass clarinet which is on Craigslist. I think the serial number is L19322 (or LL9322, it is hard to tell from the photo). I have been doing some research on this forum and other places on the web and am getting incredibly confused about whether Conn bass clarinets of this era (whatever era it is) are of decent quality.

I have not seen the instrument yet. It is located an hour away, so I'm doing my research first to avoid wasting a trip if this instrument Conn bass clarinets are a bad investment. The seller is asking $575. He says it needs new pads. He seems to indicate that it is unplayable in its current condition, so I will not be able to discern anything about its sound until I have already purchased it and had it serviced. The seller also says it is a "professional" bass clarinet. Did Conn make professional level bass clarinets?

Thank you so much for any info you can give me.
