I'm a Woodwind Player, Teacher and Repair Technician. I just finished overhauling this Lovely Instrument. It's a Normandy Model 4. It was made in France of Grenadilla wood, take a really close look at the Beautiful Grain in the Wood on Bell Section. It has a really nice wood frame Case w/ 3 compartments: 2 for accessories and 1 for books. It has Stainless Steel Rods and Pivot Screws that hold the Keys on the Instrument. This is a Rare and extremely important feature. The Keys will never seize-up due to corrosion. Normandy Clarinets aren't sold in USA now. When this Clarinet was new it sold for approximately the same as a comparable Buffet that is now the E12 that sells for deeply discounted online price of $2058 + tax and shipping. This one is only $595. and it comes with a one year Warranty.
