Hi everyone!
I own a very old wood Normandy Eb Clarinet. It was given to me by an old teacher. I have no intention of ever selling it (sentimental value, plus I am actually using it until I get a pro model) but I need to know how much it is worth because I am going on an overseas university band trip and customs wants to have accurate info about all our instruments.
If anyone could help me out I would much appreciate it!
Thanks,
Miriam

My daughter got used a Normandy Eb clarinet. We paid in the neighborhood of $500 for it, if I recall correctly. It seemed like a fair deal to me. It plays very nicely and quite well in tune. We bought it used from a local clarinet player who wasn't using it much any more, on the condition that he would have first crack at repurchasing it should she decide not to use it any more.

Thanks, Jeff! I will probably give customs a number in that range, though mine is so used (it spent much of its life as a highschool instrument) it would probably be worth less if I actually wanted to sell it.
