Title: Penzel Mueller Alto Clarinet
Post by: RobMusic1 on February 22, 2025, 06:53:53 AM
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

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.

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.
See post #149 onwards.
