Question
Hello, Could you please tell me the approximate age and value of a bundy artist clarinet sponsored by selmer?  Serial # 3557  Thanks, Marla

Answer
Marta,

The clarinet you asked about was manufactured between 1960 and 1968, with the current value, if in good condition (pads, corks, springs, etc) and the case in good condition would be around $350.  A total repad WOULD be $95 and an overhaul (pads, corks, oiled where needed, etc) will run $125.  If a replacement case is needed, you're look at about $40 for a used one.

Musically,
Gale MACK

I can answer questions about playing saxophone or charinet. I have taught these instruments privately for over 40 years. I was a public school band director for many years. At the time of my retirement, I was an adjunct faculty member of Saint May College, Leavenworth, Kansas.
