Vintage Normandy Special Clarinet with Noblet X2 mouthpiece

Description

Beautiful old Normandy Special Clarinet made by Noblet of France, and bearing the serial number 3348. The body of the instrument is wood with a plastic bell - they often did this since the wooden bells were prone to cracking. The instrument appears to be in good shape with a clean finish and responsive keys, but I am not an expert, so it is possible there may be adjustments or maintenance required I am unaware of. Comes with a nice Noblet X2 mouthpiece. The case is an old Bundy with some nice vintage deco styling. It's functional, but worn, with some cosmetic scuffing and discoloration on the exterior. A beautiful old instrument with a lot of character and an excellent pedigree.
