I consider myself something of an expert in vintage clarinets. I’ve been able to use my skills to “look under the surface” on clarinets every now and again. For example, I’m able to tell a Bb clarinet from an A clarinet even wjth terrible pictures. I did this once and bought a clarinet for $200 that ended up being worth $750 since it was an A clarinet. If it was Bb, it would have been like $250-300 tops.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks so much for all your help! Hopefully you’ll see me posting again here in the Ancients forum with some *actual* pickups soon <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
