Clarinet

Clarinet made of ebonite, in two sections (body and wooden bell) with nickel-silver ferrules and keywork. It has 23 cylinder- and saltspoon-cup keys (four ring keys, closed third and sixth keys), mounted in posts with rods, with flat and needle springs attached to keys and posts. The A-key has a metal roller and there are three keys to be used with the left thumb on the back. The ebonite mouthpiece is original, having a metal tenon that makes part of the adjustable integral barrel. There is a silver-plated mouthpiece cap, probably not original. Nominal pitch: A.
