Buescher, True Tone, B Flat Clarinet
A "True Tone" Bb metal clarinet made by Buescher, of Elkhart Indiana. Metal clarinets were largely made for outdoor use, and this is a commission sale for Clarinets Direct, the last owner being a UK based professional who is a big fan of metal clarinets. He informs me that this was the top of the range model offered by Buescher. Certainly the design is advanced, with a fully adjustable telescopic barrel which allows for a varying length with out any discontinuity in the bore. It is in good used condition with no damage, and has fine condition used fish skin pads throughout. The silver plating is excellent with most wear to the ring finger tone holes. The serial numbers are 256794, which dates to 1930. This clarinet has been down to our workshop for a thorough "check over" and regulation prior to sale. The m'piece is the original Buescher, which tunes this instrument well. The original case is in good condition, and the clarinet comes with the original guarantee card.
