I learned to play on a Holton metal clarinet in the 6th grade
about 1946..of course I don'tknow about the quality..BUT a few years ago, found a similar metal clarinet...a "Champion" with a serial #AB45xx..in an antique store. I bought it for
$35 and paid about $150 to get it repadded. I think that I get reasonable tone and enjoy taking it occasionally to Indianapolis Municipal Band practice for a lark...Some of the younger players have asked "what's that"..having never seen a metal clarinet. I've been told that it's about 1920-1925 vintage. Enjoy your horn.."they don't make them like they used to.
