Question
original purchase price $250, ser.no 328440 wood Con what would be the gowning price today ? with case. model 424-n

Answer
I'm sorry but I'm not familiar with Conn clarinets, so the best I can do is tell you that a student or intermediate clarinet, made of wood, usually brings between $200 and $400 on ebay depending on its brand and the condition of its pads.

The best way to determine the value of an instrument is to do a search on ebay ( www.ebay.com ) for "conn clarinet" and check the "completed items only" box. This will show you what the last 5 or 10 instruments have sold for.

best,

Clarinet
