 Re: 1934 clarinet

I love pre-WWII clarinets, bass clarinets and oboes -- with proper restoration they can sound as good as, or better than, more modern instruments. Certainly the quality of the wood back then (or at least the amount of seasoning it was subjected to prior to machining) was superior to what's been used since.

As for cracks, they are neither fatal nor a big deal. All cracks can be repaired, and newer instruments are more prone to developing new cracks than older horns.
