Jean Cartier "Professional" Bb clarinet



Here's another fine French made Bb clarinet.  This one has the old Jean Cartier name, its unclear as to whether this was a trade name or not.  All I know is that all the Cartier's I've seen through here have been fine instruments!
This is the first "Professional" instrument I've seen by Cartier.  I'm not sure if it would stand up to this name in these modern times but honestly it was a DARN good instrument!  The quality of the wood was top notch, the key work was comfy and the clarinet just sang and sang!  The key work did have some very dull plating.
I repadded this clarinet and was very very happy with the results.  I'm sure the new owner is very happy with this, I know I would be.
