Altrichter clarinet


This belonged to the customer's great grandfather, and was given to him many years ago.
He wants to play it, so his next task is to work out a fingering chart, as it's an enhanced version of the Muller 13 key clarinet of 1812.
Mind you, he will have to play alone, as it's pitched at A=452, unless he can form a high-pitch band!

As it came, not playing      

 
Keywork all held on by pushpins   All springs are leaf, apart from the spectacle key  
Oiled cleaned, repadded using modern pads Replica orginal pads would have been better  All assembled Thumbrest carved out of the body wood
Register tube mount carved out of body wood.
No tube protruding into bore.
Mouthpiece is wooden and has grooves for old style string reed mounting
