Question
I have a wooden Noblet Bb clarinet. The serial # is four digits beginning with a 4. I'd like to sell it on ebay but have no idea of its worth or what amount to start the bid. Can you help please? I'm also located in Houston and if there is someone you know of in the area that may do an honest appraisal....? Thank you!
Woodwinds aren't my area, so I can't help with its value, but I will say that you really don't have to worry about it. If you describe it fully and honestly and provide detailed pictures, it will naturally rise to its true value on eBay no matter where you start it.

Please note: My area is BRASS instruments, not other wind, string or percussion instruments. I will provide information on antique, obscure and out of production BRASS instruments. 1) Please don't ask for evaluations, I'll not provide them on this site. 2) I am often asked very similar questions, so I'd invite you to first check on Horn-u-Copia.net. Much of the information I have garnered about this topic, I have posted on this WEB site.
Experience
I perform in several historical bands, have informally researched the area, repair brass instruments, and operate a Forum dedicated to the topic at http://horn-u-copia.net
