RE: "Cleveland" silver Eb clarinet

In Bb, Clevelands were student grade instruments. Sterling clarinets are indeed rare; my bet would be on plating. Going strictly from memory (which is getting worse and worse every day), I'm thinking the Cleveland was a model of the H.N. White Company. If so, its major claim to fame is that it is a metal eefer - not that it is a great clarinet. My GUESS is that on ebay auction it would go for $100-$300 in decent condition (but needing pads) - depending on how much someone wanted to add a metal eefer to their collection.

All in all . . . it was a very nice gift. Hope you get it playing and enjoy it.
