Here's a very clean early 1920's Albert system clarinet in Bb LP, marked "Guy Humphrey Paris", which looks like a stencil name for a Couesnon or Martin Freres. I've worked on dozens of these, under various names, in the last 20 years, and they're uniformly well made instruments! It's made of grenadilla wood with nickel alloy keys, posts and rings, and a bore of .575". All pieces are in good shape, with no significant repairs. This would be a great horn for playing Trad Jazz, Greek/Turkish folk music, or Klezmer!
It was just overhauled: disassembled, oiled, the mechanism swedged and countersunk, body, keys, rings, and posts buffed, white leather pads and corks installed. This rare clarinet is in good shape for its years and plays with a big, warm tone and good intonation. Comes with vintage (possibly original) case in clean, solid condition.
