Re: Identify a clarinet with no logo

>>The clarinet did come is a square plastic case with a blue selmer plastic nameplate on the front of it. Since the clarinet has no logo & plays far better than I remember those old Bundy's played years ago I was just assuming the case was just not original to the clarinet.>>

That's a valid guess. Those American Selmer and older Bundy cases are much sturdier than a lot of other cases that come with instruments. I'm probably not the only one who buys empty Bundy cases at flea markets for clarinets that go up for sale without cases (many used, old clarinets, for instance), or with such crummy cases that they don't protect the instruments.

For that reason, whenever I lift up a closed Bundy case at a flea market and can tell by the weight that it's inhabited, I don't assume it contains a plastic student instrument and keep walking. I open up that case to make sure someone didn't squirrel away a homeless antique in there. Once in a rare while, I get lucky.
