Sorry it took so long for me to get back to everyone. No, this clarinet isn't in playing condition. And yes, the A key is not the original key, which kinda stinks!! My uneducated thought was that it might be a stencil too. I had a repair tech who I met off of craigs list and sells high end horns on ebay have a look at it the other day and he didn't think it was a buffett either. He thought it was probably a stencil too. I have decided not to keep it in any case as I have a Leblanc Dynamic 2 that I just picked up at a thrift store for a good deal the other day. Looks like it had been freshly rehauled and only needed one tenon cork replaced, so I got that fixed and am now tooting away, finally!!
Basically, I think I was feeding my desire to be playing the clarinet by buying old clarinets, cleaning them up, and researching them when what I really wanted to be doing was playing again.
The business person in me is having a hard time justify keeping the leblanc because of it's value, but I know the chances of me ever stumbling across a deal again for this kind of clarinet are remote and I am finally playing again.
Sorry if this discussion is off topic. Thanks for everyone's help on this clarinet. If anyone has any new info please let me know.
Thanks!!
