 RE: Pedler Alto Clarinet

I am going to half agree and half disagree with Fred.
I have not watched Alto clarinet prices recently, but
there have been top models going for more than $400 in the past. However, those were considerably newer than your Custombuilt.

A question: metal or wood? I have a Custombuilt alto that is metal. I paid way too much on eBay. The mechanism is a nightmare. I could not get it into adjustment. It rests at the shop, where the tech will get to it when he feels like he can stand it. (4 months and counting) Part of why he does't want to put in the work is he figures it will go out of adjustment fairly quickly.

Dunno about the wood ones. Pedlar had a good reputation, although i don't think CustomBuilt was their top model. I would peg mine at early to mid 1930s.
