The H.N. White Co. (makers of the King clarinets) made Gladiator metal clarinets in the early 1940s as their introductory models. This Gladiator #TT266 has been restored in our shop with all new white leather pads and corks. The original silver plating is above average for an eighty-two-year-old instrument with some plating wear. Please see the photographs. Includes original case and hard rubber mouthpiece. A good investment at $375 plus shipping.

Please note:
As professional repair technicians, we charge approximately $250-$300 to completely overhaul a clarinet. When you purchase one of our clarinets, it has been professionally overhauled, with the mechanism tightened, new double-skin pads, and new corks. While you can purchase as-is instruments for less, you will likely have to invest in an overhaul either after you have purchased them or shortly thereafter. We don’t cut corners with cheaper supplies or patchwork. When you compare our quality, you will understand why we don’t accept lower “make offers” on our instruments.
