1895 C.G. Conn Double Wall Wonder Clarinet nickel - First year of production

Serial #: 1997

This C.G. Conn Wonder Clarinet is a neat vintage instrument from the very first year of production for this innovative model. It is composed of two light metal tubes, the inner one being the size of the bore, and the outer one the size of the circumference of an ordinary wood clarinet These tubes when joined together form a hollow chamber between the outer surface and the bore of the instrument, thus protecting the pitch of the instrument in variable temperature. It is in decent shape for its age, but will need some work to be playable. It will need new cork and likely new pads among other possible work. Comes with the original case in fair condition and some vintage reeds.
