Description: This Listing is for: Up for auction is a rare 1928 C.G. Conn "Armored" model 424N-B silver metal Bb clarinet, with original case! This clarinet has been fully overhauled with new kangaroo pads, corks, and springs, as needed. It is an awesome player with a big rich tone from top to bottom! There are no major dents or major trauma. It is evident that this clarinet was played very little in it's lifetime. The silver plating has very minimal wear, a few scratches with approximately 99.5% of plating intact. The construction of the Armored Clarinet features a hard rubber top and bottom joint with a thin silver sheath around the rubber. This Rare collectible clarinet has the potential to be a great serious investment The serial number is in the upper 424N-B214233L. I believe this model was only made in small quantities for around 3 years! No mouthpiece is included. The pictures provided are considered as part of the description. Internet Quote, silverclarinets.com:The Armored Conn was a fantastic clarinet, but it was heavy, and it was expensive. For whatever reason it was only made off and on from 1926 to the dawn of the Great Depression. It's a loud clarinet that has the kind of tone that soloists prefer, especially for jazz
