Capital Clarinet
Capital Clarinet

BLLL4 Value is ?

Answer
Hello Larry....I have not heard of that particular brand of clarinet but found a few mentions of it on the net....Usually, metal clarinets in poor condition sell for as little as $25-30 if in poor condition, and up to $200-250 if restored....As it costs $250-300 for an overhaul, many believe [including me] it is not worth the money to overhaul...You would end up with a clarinet that played as well as it could but not have the tone of a simlilar condition WOOD clarinet....Cheers   JACK
