Description
This is a really great contra bass clarinet with extended range. The instrument is in great shape! It recently came back from our repair shop and plays great up and down the register. It could use a little bit of a polish if you wanted to do that but it is in really nice shape with a nice dark rich sound to it. Please note the body has all matching serial numbers of #1246, the bell serial number is #974A and the neck serial number is #655. This is a large instrument so please keep in mind that shippers sometimes are not as careful handling the boxes as we would all like them to be. Please anticipate that it may need a tweak when it gets to you if the shipping handlers are not super careful with the box. We will pack it well inside the case and around the case in the box.
