Intonation results taken when playing loud and not lipping. See how to interpret these results on the Model Comparison Page.

For this test, I pulled x at the barrel and x in the center for this horn.

Intonation summary: Very good. Much like an R13 of the same time period.

Key work quality: This particular clarinet was stored in a very damp environment. 4 screws were not able to be removed. Two posts were cut and replaced. The general key quality would be like a Buffet of the period.

This clarinet is most appropriate for: Anyone.
