Noblet 40 Wood Bb Clarinet: All New Pads plus Quality Noblet Mouthpiece!

Description

This Model 40 is a very nice example of a French-made Noblet clarinet. As the Model 40 is near the top end of the Noblet line, this instrument will sound just as good as horns that cost several times as much. This would be considered an intermediate/semi-pro model. It is in nice shape. The key plating is generally good, with a few worn spots. The corks and springs are also in good condition. The body of the clarinet has very few minor scratches from normal use and no cracks. There are small cosmetic issues here and there but nothing major to mention. This instrument was just serviced: taken apart and polished, all new Valentino pads were installed, plus it was lubricated and the keys aligned when it was re-assembled. I've found that often it's the small adjustments that make a big difference in how enjoyable and instrument is to play.
I started playing clarinet 56 years ago and these days I restore clarinets exclusively. Over the years I've refurbished more than 1,200 of these Bb clarinets, many of which have been sold here on eBay. So you can check out the feedback from other happy customers and be confident that you're buying a quality instrument that plays great. I feel I've done my best to ensure that this one fits that description. After testing this clarinet, I've found that it does everything well- it plays easily from top to bottom and has a beautifully resonant sound. You will be hard-pressed to find a better sounding wood instrument in this price range!
This clarinet comes with an Noblet 2 mouthpiece, which works beautifully with this horn. Also comes with new cork grease and a new reed- just let me know what strength you need. The case is in good condition, showing normal wear. The serial number is D43795. Clarinet will be shipped quickly by Priority Mail or FedEx following payment.
