Boston Special Metal Clarinet Circa 1929
Boston Special Metal Clarinet Circa 1929!
The Cundy Bettoney Company of Boston made this Boston Special # P3804 for The Platt Music Company, Los Angeles. It has all the quality and workmanship this fine old firm was noted for. This Boston Special was a “upper intermediate” model instrument. It is 100% original including its original Bill of Sale dated 1929! It is nickel-plated (body and keys) and in great plating condition. We completely overhauled it with new double skin pads, and new corks. No dents and the mechanism is tight. Comes with a vintage hard rubber mouthpiece and case. Please see the photographs. $450 plus shipping.
Please note:
As professional repair technicians, our labor to completely overhaul a clarinet is approximately $250-$300. 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, it is likely that you will have to invest in an overhaul either before playing it 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.
