Pre owned ARCS Leblanc Esprit bass clarinet to low E flat £2800 ono

This instrument benefitted from a recent upgrade to the ARCS specification and is now for sale due to a customers upgrade to a low C bass clarinet.

The wood is stunning and the keywork shows no sign of wear, the original case,BAM, is in excellent condition. This is probably the best example of this model in the UK and is an excellent choice for anyone who doesn’t need a low C bass clarinet

K HAMMERSCHMIDT KLINGSON Bb £450

 
Karl Hammerschmidt was one of the iconic clarinet makers of the 20th century.  This is a handmade instrument which may date from the 1960’s.  If you like the idea of a clarinet which plays with something approaching the “authentic Viennese sound” but is a Boehm system instrument then perhaps this is the clarinet for you.  The instrument has been worked on extensively by Andrew and is in excellent playing condition for an instrument of this age.
