Conn Pan American Special Metal Clarinet Circa 1940’s
During the 1940’s, Conn was the largest maker of band instruments and manufactured several models of metal clarinets. The Pan American Special reflected their student level metal clarinet. This serial number 97449 is a solid, well-built metal clarinet with a sand-blasted silver-plated body and nickel-plated keys. We overhauled this interesting and strong-playing clarinet with all new pads and corks. The mechanism is tight. Please see the photographs. It comes with its original case and Conn mouthpiece. $375 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 before you play 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.
