With all apologies, I have to correct some inaccurate information posted above. The CL300 is not based on the 1948 Bundy 1400, but shares its acoustic design and .573 bore with the wooden Selmer CL200 and CL210, which were designed decades after the Bundy 1400.

It also features a bore that is machined, rather than moulded. It's been my experience that plastic and ebonite clarinets with machined bores do a much better job facilitating the drainage of moisture from the instrument.

In other words...you have a very decent instrument that should approach modern standards of performance. It will get even better over time as you take it in for its annual service and have intonation adjustments made as well as keywork adjustments to accommodate your personal preferences for spring tensions and touchpiece location. Play and enjoy!
