Question
Hi, I have a metal clarinet that says "Bruno Royal Artist" on the bell. The clarinet is probably from the thirties and is in remarkable condition considering its age. Can you tell me how much this clarinet is worth and how it ranks among other clarinets from the era, as well as an antiquity? Thanks.

Answer
Hello Vincent....I could find nothing on that particular make...There is an excellent website called 'silver clarinets' that gives some interesting information..As to value, there are only a few brand names of metal clarinets that have significant value...Most are valued at Ebay prices [$30-200]....Cheers   JACK
