Selmer Paris Bb clarinet

Here's a nice old Henri Selmer Bb clarinet.
Probably made in the 1920s, the serial # is worn away!
What makes this instrument special is the addition of the 7th ring!  Don't see too many 7 ring models around.  Of course these are nicely made, lovely sounding French instruments here.  Every old Selmer I've had through I've fallen for,  just a classic sound!

Conn New Wonder II alto sax

Another fantastic old Conn here!  This is a New Wonder II alto, original and with nice clean lacquer.  They didn't offer lacquer as an option at this point, so this instrument was a bare brass horn that received its first lacquer later on in life.  Its well done!   The engraving style is the "neat" type, no picture just "CG Conn LTD".  
I overhauled the micro tuner neck and made some adjustments but this horn didn't need much to be quite the singer!  These are such lovely horns.  

Leblanc Classic Bb clarinet

Here's a darn fine Bb clarinet by Leblance, the "Classic" model. 
This was a top line instrument when it came out in the 1960's.  Apparently Jimmy Hamilton of the Duke Ellington band played one!  That's cool.  For some reason old Leblanc's are undervalued,  I'm not sure why.  This instrument played & sounded as well as any Bb clarinet I've had.

Henri Bouchet alto sax (German)

Here's a nice German made alto sax, perhaps from the 1960's?  Doing a little digging I found that this was made by a small firm called Dorfler & Jorka.
The build quality is good, very solid.
Rolled tone holes!
The neck socket screw was very unique, its a small knob on the back of the horn's body.  Neat!
All in all I was quite please with this horn,  it had a wonderful sound & looked pretty cool too!  I'm not a huge fan of the lacquer color but oh well.

Kohlert Winnenden Bb clarinet

I've bought & sold quite a few old Kohlert clarinets,  they are consistently available for cheap and once restored make fine players.  Up until now I've only worked on the instruments from Kraslice/Graslitz,  except for a Winnenden bass I posted about earlier. 
This is the 1st Winnenden Bb clarinet I've had.   I've been curious because the consensus online seems to be that the Winnenden era Bb clarinets are so so.....
And what did I find?  At first glance things seem similar, not quite identical to the earlier instruments but I can still see a resemblance.  This one in particular was very clean & original.....and ended up playing just "ok".   I'm not sure what it is,  I can't put my finger on it,  but they really aren't as good as the earlier Kraslice/Graslitz instruments.  Certainly not bad by any means, but I won't be going out of my way to pick any more of these up.

Bundy tenor sax

These are just awesome horns for the money!  This Bundy was an early one,  just post Selmer buyout.  What you have is identical for the most part to a late run Buescher Aristocrat.  In other words, a solid, well made, good sounding saxophone that once set up will blow many newer horns out of the water!  Seriously,  these old Bundy I horns can be had for so cheap and make excellent student or backup horns.

LaCroix bass clarinet

Here's a really neat old French bass clarinet made by LaCroix.

I'm really not sure if LaCroix is a stencil instrument or not,  this one was very similar to the "LaBar" bass clarinet I posted about some time back.
A few interesting things about this instrument:  the body is 2 piece but also made of ebonite,  this is the 1st 2 piece ebonite bass I've seen.  Also it featured a double register vent which is typically only found on professional instruments.
The neck was fitted with a circular key just like you would see on a saxophone,  wow!
I really liked the sound of this instrument,  the double register setup was certainly on the finicky side but all in all a good clarinet!

Evette & Schaeffer baritione sax

Here's one of the 1st early Buffet Evette & Schaeffer horns I've had my hands on.  I see a lot of the later French (Malerne) & Italian E&S horns,  but this one is from the 1920s.
This horn had a great sound!  I got it playing on the old pads,  it had a rough neck socket that will need replacing in the future but all in all it was a player.  The tone was superb and the build quality was good,  well made for sure. 
One interesting thing about the key work,  there was no way to play F# with your right hand middle finger like you can on most any other sax,  but there was a neat way to play an Eb trill with a special key setup.  This is not to be confused with the American version of Eb trill,  this is a totally unique approach to this.  Not sure if they did this on other horns or not,  but I'm assuming they did.
