    Description

    An early 1950's vintage 'Fdel'Armee' model Bb Boehm system clarinet by Thibouville Freres of France. This model was built on French military contract and is a fine player! It is grenadilla wood with nickel alloy keys and a bore of .580".  It is in great vintage condition, with sharp tenons and chimneys and no crack repairs. The clarinet has been disassembled, soaked in oil, keys swedged and countersunk (to remove lost motion), body and keys polished, all new Pisoni leather pads and cork installed, and reassembled and adjusted for optimal play-ability. Warm, centered tone with even response through the registers, good ergonomics and intonation. I am very pleased with the play-ability of the instrument! Includes case (probably original) in solid condition!

    Why Vintage Clarinets?
    I believe that vintage clarinets represent one of the most under-priced and underutilized resources on the market.
    While there is some junk out there, there are many makes and models that are good to excellent players if properly overhauled and that will provide satisfaction to collectors, students and even pro players while saving the buyer hundreds of dollars! Nickel and grenadilla wood are increasingly finite resources and the craftsmanship on some of these old horns makes them a real pleasure to own. Why not try a vintage clarinet from the
