 Re: A 19th century clarinet

I got a couple of old joints from a local music tech. They were in his junk box and I think I gave him about $5 for them. They were far beyond repair, but all I wanted was the wood, so it was a good buy.

Do you know what key the instrument is in? I recently restored an Albert system C clarinet that's a bit more recent than yours. If you're not sure, measure the clarinet from bell ring to mouthpiece tip. A C clarinet will be roughly 57.5 Cm (22 3/4 inches), a Bb will be about 67Cm (26 1/2 inches) and an Eb about 49Cm (19 1/4 inches).

I may be wrong in my comments about the ligature, it may well be an original.
