Lafleur clarinets
« on: May 11, 2023, 01:21:44 PM »
Anyone heard of Lafleur clarinets? Saw a really old one for sale that was in a really bad way. Cracks all the way down and a rusty ligature. No way I'd go near it with a barge pole but I was curious why it still had a high price and who Lafleur is.

There's a thread years ago here:

https://clarinetpages.info/smf/index.php?topic=1200.0

I concluded that it might have been a Malerne stencil. These are good, but not worth a ton. I don't know the price on the one you're looking at, but if it's a standard French wood stencil, then it won't be worth too much.

110 pounds they were asking. It didn't look like it was worth 10!
