Good stuff on ebay

If this guy bought this bass new for one single gig and is now selling it, then he has literally made the worst financial decision I have ever seen in my entire life.

Hey, it's been "professionally stored".

[modernicus]

I'd like an explanation of what that means.  Making sure the temp/humidity doesn't get too extreme and then what? 8)

Well, "professionally" means that someone had to have gotten paid for storing it, so let's say he hired a special guy just to keep an eye on it during storage!

I think this is the simplest clarinet I've ever seen

Rare example of an Albert bass clarinet. It doesn't even have rollers!
I have an Albert Buffet bass holed away somewhere. One day I'll restore it.

Wow,  the 'flat' in Bb is actually spelled out 'flat'!  I've never seen that before.

What an oddity.  Key system like something from 1800, saltspoon keycups like something from 1850 and the LP marking like something from the early 20th century.

This doesn't look like a Pupeschi, but it does have a neato extra lever for the left hand

That would be Conn's patented Improved System, seen here in the 1910 catalog on page 8. http://www.saxophone.org/museum/publications/id/67
Somewhere, I think it's buried in one the Conn publications on this site, there is a listing that shows which Conn factory built each key system and pitch clarinet.

The B at the beginning of the serial number is for Bb and the H at the end of the serial number would make this high pitch.  The MPB PIU in the shield is the union label from the metal workers and platers union.

Awesome, thanks for the info!

Don't see integrated barrel Thibouville clarinets like this everyday.  It appears to be a pretty decent example from around 1910 (Oval stamp with star above and below) with just the one crack on the lower joint, and what appears to be a tight crack in the bell.  The price is very reasonable on this one yet, I just thought I would share this as I have picked up way too many clarinets lately and need to spend more time restoring than adding to the collection!

Fascinating, Dave.  A LP salt spoon 6-key?  I certainly have not seen one of those.  I appears French.  It would not be stamped LP unless it was from the turn of the last century.  I imagine it was a throwback model, made just for kicks.  I think I'd like to play that.

Wow, did anyone here see this one on SG ??

Lower joint socket lined with metal on an Albert?

Good thing I didn't see that,  love JTLs would have been tempting...also have too many clarinets needing restoration!

Neat example of a modern Albert
