According to Martin Freres, the Grand Prix was a limited professional clarinet made between 1906 and 1914. It represented the firm’s top line clarinet. In a new Protec case with the mouthpiece. This company made a variety of models, and this represents a better model instrument. A collectible quality French clarinet for $675 plus shipping. Please see the photos.  
 

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 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.
