Hi! I`ve a Besson clarinet serial number is: 303950 it`s made in England and on the bell written "Stratford Besson". So i want to know as more as possible about this instrument. Is it a professional, intermediate or student model. What is the actual price (in mint condition) where i can buy repair parts for it (screws), and what clarinets have same mechanics to replace (if it`s possible)
Also, clarinet has silver plated mechanics

Thank You!

Your instrument was made by B&H approx 1968.
It will be a student/intermediate level instrument.
Basically it's a re-badged Regent/Edgware/Emperor.
Windcraft in UK bought up most of B&H remaining woodwind and brass spares when B&H closed their factory. Any parts for the Regent - Emperor etc as above should fit.
These clarinets are sound instruments for their level but are rather "out of fashion" now and so have quite low values.
Could be in range 100 - 250 USD but depends on demand.
