Question
I found an old wood clarinet. The wood is black/ The markings on the bell is Triebert Drevete A Paris in an oval. Above the oval is a stone tower and below the oval is a flame. The bell is also marked Bb and LP.
I work at a school that was founded in 1873 in Chicago. I am hesitant to throw it away. What are your suggestions?
The cork is old and dry and the mouthpiece is not usuable.
Thank you for any information that you can send me.

Experience
I have been fixing and reselling flutes (both young and old!) for the last 5 years and occasionally some other woodwinds on occasion. I've been well acquainted with antique oboes, clarinets, and most flutes (including piccolos and fifes) and should be able to help with most questions.
Education/Credentials
A few years ago, I attended a technical college for a band instrument repair course. After I left the college, I began educating myself on antique flutes, clarinets and oboes and continue to try helping people with their instruments. I'm able to provide an estimate of the value of the instrument(s) as well as an estimate for restoration of the instrument(s). If you have a very important question and/or I haven't written back to your question within a few days, please feel free to give me a call at any time on my cell phone: 570-236-7054. Thanks!
