Re: Help identify this clarinet

Since you originally bought it off of eBay, if you were to check eBay for SOLD Auctions of the 10G you would find a recent one for $1,250 USD.

The whole issue is a 6th grader will bang around the clarinet. They may accidentally sit on it (put it on the chair then accidentally sit down on it) and splinter it; someone else may knock it out of the hands, etc. Their smaller, beginner fingers may not be able to cover the toneholes. In the old days, Beginner clarinets normally have smaller toneholes which were easier to cover. Entry-level, Beginner clarinets are normally plastic so one doesn't have to worry about any wood damage and wood care at that young age.

So in general, I would not recommend you give a 10G to a beginner clarinet player.

The real question is since you bought it off of ebay how much would you value the instrument at? Versus buying (renting) the 6th grader a student clarinet.

In the US beginner students are often able to rent from a local store, or one can buy, or buy from other sources (although it's buyer beware from unknown sources)
