Continental Colonial Metal Clarinet Circa 1940s
This Continental Colonial metal clarinet #83153 was made by C.G. Conn and represented its entry-level instrument at a time when Conn was the largest band instrument maker. It features a nickel-plated body and keys (Barrel is silver-plated). This instrument has been completely professionally restored in our shop with all-new pads and new key corks. The mechanism is tight. No dents. Comes with a mouthpiece and case. Please see the photographs. Own and enjoy a piece of musical history for $385 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, it is likely that you will have to invest in an overhaul either before you play 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.
