Re: Help with 19th Century Clarinets

Thanks JDbassplayer, I appreciate your input. I am seeing my local repair man at Legato Australia tomorrow. He warned me against buying old clarinets in the past, so I’m sure he won’t be impressed.
Also, thank you for sharing an incredibly useful chart. It’s an invaluable tool to identify clarinets of any age. But it also confused me a bit as the two Eugene Alberts sit somewhere in between. The C is 56.5 with mouthpiece, 49.8 without. The A is 68.9 with m/p, 61.9 without. The Bb Gautrot is 64.7 with, 57.8 without, so it’s definitely high pitch. I would assume that being bundled as a set they are all tuned to the same pitch.
