Indeed, play and enjoy it. When this clarinet was introduced in 1948 as the Bundy 1400, it was intended for players of all skill levels who wanted or needed an alternative to the metal and hard rubber instruments of the time. It was not a cheap clarinet, either--there were contemporary entry-level wooden instruments with list prices lower than that of the Bundy, and this was true throughout the 1950s.
I once had a 1950s Bundy here in my studio, and after proper setup, I found it to be quite likeable, with a very nice tone. The moulded bore on my particular Bundy collected a lot of moisture, however, and I had to frequently swab it out during rehearsals and performances--that's why I no longer own it.
