Hi I recently bought a Cousenon et Cie Clarinet from a well know auction site on the net for �140 ish for my daughter.
I was wanting a bit more information on it like what key it's in (if thats what I mean) when it was made, should I insure it.
Our local music shop reckoned it was the best condition he'd seen an old clarinet in

Details as per auction below

Thanks Mike
It is made of wood, maybe rosewood or cocuswood I have checked all over it with a magnifying glass and there are no splits or repairs, in fact it is perfect! The mouth piece is made by Selmer, the body has the name Couesnon & Cie on both bits, but also on the bottom bit it has more information (mind you I had to look under a magnifying glass for 20mins to work out what it reads, and some is so worn I cannot make it out!) So under an emblem is "Hors Concours", "Memor Du Jury", Paris. Series G, No 2454. Couesnon & Cie........Maybe not in the right order, but its all there! Total length is 26 1/2" inches. It has its fitted case in good condition, plus a little box full of reeds that also fits inside the case. All of the pads look to me to be in good condition
