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 | |||
