A few posts back I wrote about a C clarinet with Albert system fingering. What do you know, here's another one! I answered an ad online about someone selling some trombones, when I went to see them the seller also mentioned having some other things...........and this clarinet was one them. What a treat! This one is marked Henri Farny Paris. Not sure if he was a real maker or not, but my research did turn up an old Farny clarinet in a museum that Barney Bigard played while with Duke Ellington! That's a good sign, I love Bigard's playing.
I fully refurbished this instrument, it had some minor cosmetic issues but otherwise turned out really well. Fun to play for sure, good quality, a real gem.
