And the booklet at the bottom clearly says 'Clarinet" in Japanese Katakana. I can't read the box ...

MTokutaro Yanagisawa established the Egawa Rappa factory aometime around 1921. This factory manufactured brass instruments and later when Tokutaro Yanagisawa left the factory, the factory was renamed "Nikkan".
Nikkan was sold to Yamaha about 1955 and provided the basis of the early Yamaha musical instruments.
Tokutaro Yanagisawa went on to create the Yanigasawa company; Takanobu Yanagisawa succeeded his father as president of Yanigasawa.

I've seen a couple of these before, but were more cylendrical like a bamboo flute and black in color. I'd like to see some over here to replace or augment the recorder in schools. The one I heard play sounded kinda like an E-fer with a mellow tone. However, a dozen or more in the hands of 8 year olds may be a different story.

It looks like it might have a slightly reverse conical bore, to keep the right hand finger holes a manageable size. Note that you have to close a hole with your left little finger to play any right-hand note. Even if it has a thumb hole on the back, it would be missing the notes G#, A and Bb, and it almost certainly has no register key, so it's a modern chalumeau.
Willie - any group of 8-year-olds, playing any kind of instruments, always produces "Orange Noise" -- which consists of every note that's *not* in tune.

I thought a trainer was supposed to have a couple of little wheels near the back end.

You're right Ken. I still remmember way back in 5th grade when they started violin classes at our school. The sound we produced is still etched in my mind and nerve endings.
