Re: Lamott (Lamonte?) Clarinet

You are probably not misreading it. There was a Rene Lamott during the first half of the C20. Mark - "Rene Lamott, Paris". He may have been a small maker or a dealer - don't know which. If a dealer the maker could have been anybody.

If it were "LaMonte", this was a name used, I believe, around the 1950s - 1960s for WWIs imported to the US. It was certainly used by Martin Freres, but may have been used for other makers' instruments too.

In neither case do you need to worry about pot-metal keys. Nor should you worry about this horn having any great value but may be worth fixing (if not too expensive) for your own use. A tech could give you advice
