Clarinet
This is only part of a clarinet of which only remain the top joint, barrel and mouthpiece. It has seven cylinder-cup, nickel-silver keys, mounted in posts with rods, with flat springs attached to keys. The throat A-key is straight and the register key wraps around the body. The mouthpiece is made of ebonite and there is a nickel-silver ligature and a nickel-plated brass mouthpiece cap. The tenons are wrapped in thread.
