Mystery Clarinet
Hi,
i'm a very non - musical mother of two very talented children. My daughter plays piano, recorder, trumpet and sings and my son plays piano, recorder and clarinet and neither is older than 10
.
Well - i make it sound like a problem, well it is not.....
My problem is that when my son recently took up the clarinet i remembered that i had one (rather strangely) tucked away in my wardrobe.
My mother in law gave it to us about 15 years ago. The clarinet is rather old looking and certainly in need of some repair and servicing. I would like to know something about it but can't find much at all - even on the 'great internet'.
It is marked j h ebblewhite, 4 - 5 high st, aldgate, london. It is wood and the rings look silver. The bell is really beautiful and the top section's metal is much more shiney than the bottom. There is no mouthpiece or top cuff section. It is marked 'c'.
My question is really - is it rare and interesting or just a niknak?
Hoping that someone somewhere will be an expert in ebblewhite.
Thanks
