Clarinet
Clarinet made of cocus wood in four sections (barrel, upper and lower joints, and bell) with nickel-silver ferrules and keywork. It has thirteen cylinder-cup keys (two missing), mounted in posts with rods, with flat and needle springs attached to keys and posts, with cork paddings. There is a brille key at the lower joint (two ring-key) and the register key wraps around the body. The low E3/B4 has a metal roller on its touch. The fourth fingerhole appears to have re-drilled and filled. The top joint and barrel probably do not correspond to the rest of the instrument. The bell ferrule is pinned to wooden flare. Nominal pitch: B-flat.
