Although I don't think its as old as 1886, it is pre-1923.

All about Clarinets / Re: Info for G. Rudolf Uebel clarinet
« on: August 17, 2022, 04:59:17 PM »
E550 seems a little much. They are very hard to find, but I don't know if I could justify that price point. I bought my G Rudolf Uebel, Reform-Boehm, for about $220. Granted, the bridge key is broken but that's a sub-$100 fix, placing it in the $350 maximum range.
I don't know much about these. I do know that they are pretty rare (at least in the US), and considered to be pretty good.
For your purposes, I doubt you could spend the $200 on a refurbishment (making it E750), and then still be able to sell for a profit. They're nice, but not THAT nice.

That's definitely an ABS plastic material. I'm not sure if the striations were meant to emulate wood grain or just a product of production, but it's definitely not metal.
That logo looks like its from the early 80s, I think.

« on: July 24, 2022, 08:02:02 AM »Hi to you all.Throw a picture in here please. I don't think Vito ever made any wood contra alto clarinets. It could be an ABS material with "grain," somewhat like the Buffet B12.
I've got a Vito oval logo Contra Alto clarinet, #7152D, low Eb on the body.
Is it a 7168 1995 made model?
Which material? It's extremely heavy, with wood like veins.
Thanks!

I have a 1923 Buescher alto. Pretty much a museum piece. This soprano you found is a real gem. I sure hope grandson appreciates it.

Neat! I don't think its terribly special, but pretty cool. Sometimes backpack cases were exclusive to certain retailers. The Buffet International was a C13 that was sold exclusively in retail stores, and not online, and came with a cool case that you couldn't find elsewhere.
Could be a similar situation.

Don't see a problem with it. Jupiter clarinets aren't really commonly faked.

It's french, so that rules out the R13. It's wood, so that rules out a B12.
It's most likely an E11. If you get a flashlight and hold it juuuuust right against where the logo would be, you should be able to find a ghostly image of "E11" still remaining.
