Are there any advantages to playing one of the old Silver Clarinets?
I've got an old silverplated metal clarinet. It isn't in bad shape, and even plays a bit, but it needs a full set of pads. This is going to cost me at least $150.00 and for a bit over $200.00 I can buy a good rebuilt clarinet, or I could have my old Bundy student model rebuilt. To me the primary attraction of the silver clarinet is the appearance. I play clarinet (and saxophone) primarily for my own pleasure, and on occasion with the local Shriner's Band.
I should say that I appreciate the answers so far, but will probably have it repadded anyhow. It's about 50% playable as is, and has a decent tone. My only real playing is in a very loosely organized band where volume is more important than quality, (I mostly play Alto sax, just clarinet when needed) and the visual statement of a silver metal instrument is a factor. If I get more serious I DO have access to a nice 1960's Noblet wood clarinet.
I wouldn't bother getting the old silverplated metal clarinet done up. No matter how much work you do on it, its never going to sound as good as a new one. I'd say put it in a display cabinet or something. It might even be worth a few bob cos you don't see very many of them these days. I'd hold onto it though for that reason, rather than sell it.
You should buy yourself a new instrument. Don't bother doing up the Bundy. I started off on a Bundy, and they're really not good instruments! Go with a student Buffet model. It may cost you a bit more, but it'd be worth it.
