Jean Martin

I did a search for Jean Martin but mostly came up with references to Martin Freres.

I found a very old Albert system clarinet marked "Jean Martin" on every joint, its Bb low pitch and will need a rebuild but is intact.

I'm curious about this company/man. It seems later on Martin Freres clarinets were made, up to the 50s/60s, but for sure this clarinet pre dates this sort of instrument.

It seems really well made. I can't play it yet as the pads are shot.

I'm excited to find which old Alberts play/sound as nice as the Buffets, because the Buffets go for so much money!!!
