These old GM Bundy Paris clarinets are some of my favorites! Somewhere in the archives here you can find me writing about another one which had standard Boehm keywork. This clarinet pictured has 7 rings and an extra vent on the upper joint.
As I mentioned before these were actually made in the Selmer Paris factory in the 20s/30s, and they are fantastic! This one in particular was a splendid player, such a wonderful tone. The barrel was badly cracked when I got it and needed quite a bit of work to be sealed up, but it turned out great! This was an instrument I could see myself falling in love with...unfortunately it sold before that had a chance of happening!
I have this clarinet, no. 141. It was my father's, then mine. No cracks, just need some cork repair at main joint. Any idea of worth/resale? Thank you
