Antique Berteling Clarinet (Overhaul Project)

Description

Antique clarinet made by
Theodore Berteling, New York
. The clarinet comes in an old case that doesn't seem to be the original one.
Since I'm a flute player myself I can't play the clarinet, and my knowledge of clarinets is also limited. But
I have consulted a friend of mine who used to play the clarinet some years ago, and she believes that the keywork looks like
Albert
system
. But please check the pictures yourself.
Unfortunately I don't know the pitch of this instrument. But with the mouthpiece put on, the clarinet measures
650 mm
in total. And
582 mm
without the mouthpiece. Maybe this will give you a clue? The tip of the mouth piece is slightly chipped, and the barrel has a crack. The rest of the wood looks fine. A couple of pads are missing from the keys, and the keys show sign of tarnish and green oxidation.
I have tried as much as I can to make an accurate description. But please consult the pictures, as they are also an important part of the description.
Postage is
USD
worldwide. The clarinet will be dispatched as a signed-for letter, with a tracking number attached.
Thanks for looking - and happy bidding!
