Re: Metal Clarinet

Harry Pedler & Co made several types of top-end metal clarinet in 1927-1928-1929

They were made in Albert and Boehm systems, and you could get them in nickel or silver plate.
The mouthpiece barrel could be attached or detachable, and you could get a one-piece or two piece body.
The bell was highly engraved and generally detachable
The barrel was adjustable and fairly complex -- If you wanted to repair one you would have to be an expert solderer (I know because I have taken one apart)
The one I have has an oval logo that says Harry Pedler & Co Elkhart Ind, with a Lyre shape above the logo .It has a heavily knurled ring above the logo for adjustment
My clarinet is silver plated, gilded bell, one-piece body ser no 11530 and sold for $80 in 1927-1928 (I think).
If Eberhart Kraut reads this, please contact me -- I am trying to research Harry Pedler Snr

Good Luck and Be Safe !!!!!
Ivan
