Where is the best place to appraise or sell antique wooden Leblanc clarinet?

Q: What is the best place to appraise or sell antique clarinet?
I inherited an old Clarinet from my uncle. It's a wooden Leblanc & I believe it is late 1950's or early 1960's. It's in excellent condition & I am told it is rare. I am trying to sell it but I would like to know what it is worth first. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best place to find out what this clarinet is worth? Thank you in advance!

A: 50's/60's isn't an antique. That's actually pretty modern as clarinets go. I play on a 1920's Conn that also isn't an antique.

Take it to your local clarinet repair tech and he/she can tell you the model and age as well as the playing condition. Some of the Leblanc Paris clarinets are incredibly good playing professional instruments.

Most have a value in playing condition between $400-600. This doesn't include the lower Vito or Noblet models. Some older Leblanc Paris clarinets can be worth well over $1000.

April

Artist of the Month Series at PRNWR

Parker River National Wildlife Refuge is launching a new regular exhibit in its visitor center. Beginning April 1, PRNWR will invite one local artist each month to display and sell his or her artwork. This month the work of artist Nancy Landry will be featured. Landry is a nature and wildlife photographer and takes many of her pictures on the refuge.

 Artwork will be displayed in the auditorium of the refuge’s visitor center, at 6 Plum Island Turnpike, Newburyport, and will be available for viewing from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. There is no cost to view the artwork, and a portion of all artists’ proceeds will be donated to the Friends of Parker River. Anyone interested in having their own artwork displayed can contact Jean Adams at 978-465-5753 or by e-mail at Jean _ Adams@fws.gov, for more information.
