[Fussbudget]

When you can’t find answers anywhere else, why not come here? Has anybody here ever encountered a metal clarinet such as this:

• nickel plating over brass body
• fused bell to lower joint
• separate lower and upper joint
• screw adjustable barrel (three separate pieces)
• possible manufactured year 1934
• possible original mouthpiece being Selmer HS

If anybody is interested in assisting and would like pictures lmk.

Pictures should have been the first thing

upload pictures rather than give a link, uploading is extremely easy, you can do it in 3 ways , in the com box, directly copy (right mouse) and then paste ( right mouse too) directly in this box or under where you see an icon showing a paperclip brings you to your hard drive and from tere you click something which will be uploaded

Or insert image Landscape icon , drag an image or click there and it goes again to your hard drive.

The Selmer HS is only a mouthpiece, it has no bearing to the brand of your clarinet, unlikely to have been the “ original” mouthpiece.
If you can’t find any brand on the clarinet it may be anything , please show as many details as possible of any thing looking like a brand.

this is a Bettoney, for example

Some Silver King and Silver-bet metal clarinets were produced with separate lower and upper joint and screw adjustable barrel. They are "professional" level.

I have a very nice Silver King soprano clarinet with two barrels (one 440 and one 443). The barrels slip over a corked receiver on the horn's body (which is a one-piece body). DAVE

My 1929 Selmer Paris has upper and lower joints plus an adjustable barrel - so this isn’t a rare thing.
