Question
I have a Selmer Signet Special 100 Clarinet with original. The case is beat up pretty badly but the instrument itself is in really good working condition. How much could I get for it if I was to sell it to a music store

Answer
Hello John...I have heard this instrument referred to as a good beginners/student model, and if well padded and adjusted,tuned, might make it to intermediate standard...A while back, there were many for sale on EBAY,but now just a few...the most expensive being about USA $390...If the case is battered and smelly, a music store might well have to replace it to on-sell the clarinet....You did not state if the clarinet is wood or other...Assuming it is wood, on EBAY you could sell for $250-$400....Cheers   JACK
