No. They are original! Everything on this is completely original. And there is almost no wear. When I took it apart, I expected to find at least some small corrosion or rust. But there was none. Even the blue steel springs are clean and rust free. The pads look pretty darn good for being 48 years old as well.

I even noticed a very light bore “ream line” in the upper joint just below the register pip and this coincides with what others have said that Ralph Morgan worked on the upper joint taper and barrel joint (I now see 2 lines…one below the pip and one above…see photo). I also noticed some tone hole undercutting in the larger tone holes. And of course it has the reverse tapered hard rubber sleeve in the barrel. Since I live in BC Canada, I might try to see if the clarinet marker, Morrie Backun could get some precise measurements of the entire clarinet as I have not seen this information anywhere.

I’ll post on how it plays, but it feels much better in my smaller hands and somewhat wide fingers than my Series 9 and of course my R13.
