Sounds like you have one of the older better metal models. Don,t let some one talk you into making a lamp out of it. I'd clean it up and have it padded. Although leather pads work better with metal clarinets, mine are all fitted with regular skin pads for econo reasons, but then I don't play them every day either. I recomend not using silver dips as found in the grocery and jewelry stores as the acid, though mild, will eat up the steel springs (learned this one the hard way). Most metal clarinets were cheap but heavy duty student models and stamped out by the thousands, but there were some that were made, I guess with a little more pride, that had a decent tone and tuning. Of the three I have, only one sounds good. The other two sound like crap, but are pretty to look at. The Noblet line is one of the better makes and intonation is not bad if set up properly.
