This is a rare top of the range quality Bb Buescher vintage Professional quality metal clarinet that has been well looked after. A nice clean 1930 Bb Buescher True Tone 740 Silver Plated Metal Clarinet. I have very recently heard this Bb Buescher Clarinet played by a professional reed player and it has a nice full body tone throughout the 3+1/2 octave range from PP to FF. Excellent condition considering its age, no dings or damage, probably some light surface marks Some silver plate tarnishing on some of the more well used keys and an unusual bald patch of worn? Plating under the Bell. Engraving on the bell reads: THE BUESCHER ELKHART IND. Engraving on the body reads: TRUE TONE 740. Good clean mouthpiece unmarked with a good looking reed. The clarinet comes in its original case marked BUESCHER ELKHART IND. Green velvet lining, fair condition inside, outside a bit tatty with printed numbers, showing scuffs etc. And signs of wear but still useable. Both case latches work and keep the lid firmly shut when closed. The item “Buescher 740 true tone metal clarinet” is in sale since Monday, October 11, 2021.
