Question
I want to sell selmer bundy silver clarinet made in France and purchased new by my father in 1930s. Serial # 3183. Last overhauled in 1960s. Needs cleaning, pads, cork. Original case and mouthpiece. What is value?

Answer
Hello Shari,
  There are only a few silver clarinet brands that are worth hundreds of dollars..Unfortunately,Bundy is not one of them...Check out an excellent website called 'silver clarinets.com' to read all about it...Your clarinet,needing much work ,would fetch anywhere from $30.00 to $100.00 on EBAY, depending on the enthusiast doing the buying...If overhauled $350-400, it might be worth up to $300.00,depending on its look and prsentation case..     Cheers    JACK
