 Hi there.
 
 Who in the world has heard of this company or knows anything about it.
 The ad said Vintage Selmer and I got this. Just wondered if anyone knew that it is. The serial number is 186 and it is made in Italy and that's all I know.
 
 Thanks,
 Pauline

 Many sellers think a clarinet is a Selmer because it has a Selmer mouthpiece or is in a Selmer case. Buyers beware.
 
 I don't know anything about Tempertone other than what it said on the clarinet.

 As far as I know there were only two major clarinet makers in Italy, Orsi and Rampone-Cazzani, and both made decent instruments -- so what the heck!  Enjoy your Tempertone.......

 for example, Martin Busine saxes and clarinets have been manufactured in Italy. Maybe yours is a stencil mfgr's own brand...?
