my first time ever doing a complete overhaul on a alto clarinet..anyone know anything about this maker?
I can't find a single alto made by them anywhere... Looking for what you all may think it's value is..
If anyone is interested in this LMK..thanks

You don't stop playing when you get old, you get old when you stop playing.

Gorgeous.  That belongs in the hands of a pro.  Moon Hooch or Tuba Skinny could also do it proud.  I sure wish Andy were still around to see it.
Expert bubblegum welder, and Pedler Pedler.

Although an excellent instrument, open hole altos with no low Eb are not very popular. I would think this is somewhere in the $1,000 range if you can find a buyer, that is. More realistically I'd wager somewhere in the $750 range is fair

This below may be of interest to you.
 Your Alto, my Bass and the example in University of Edinburgh museum are the only fully documented/ known. I did find two other pictures on the net. Neither have documentation, just a poor attached picture.

Nothing like a big fat well rounded sound.
