Marigaux, Paris, E Flat Clarinet
This is a very good condition Marigaux Eb clarinet, in Grenadilla wood. SML, Strasser, Marigaux, and Lemaire were makers specialising in professional, saxophones, oboes and clarinets. Today, as Marigaux, they survive as one of the World's finest oboe manufacturers.
All the German Silver key work is in very good condition, with only a natural patina due to age. The wood overall is in excellent condition, with no damage or repairs, apart from some minor surface marks and light scratches. This clarinet has just had an overhaul in fish skin pads in our workshop and is sold with our 1 year warranty. The serial numbers are 1000, and it is likely, because the instrument is stamped Marigaux, and not Lemaire, that it dates to the 1960s. The original case shows some tears to the interior lining but it still latches and protects the Eb well. The original m'piece responds very nicely and works with Vandoren regular No. 3 reeds. This is a fine plaing & tuning professional Eb at a bargain price, which competes well with most Eb clarinets currently on the market.
