Cahusac Clarinet in Bb Circa 1820 VERY RARE! HISTORIC COLLECTION

Here's an extraordinary clarinet in Bb by Cahusac, circa 1820. An amazing example of a very early clarinet by one of the most important makers of early woodwinds, this instrument features an integrated bell on the lower section. In overall good condition though it does have some chips and a crack as shown. This instrument will need a rebuild to be playable. Provenance: The Historic Collection.

We are privileged to offer items from this collection for sale.As this instrument is historically interesting we have chosen to not do restoration work on it and leave that to the eventual owner. Please feel free to email with any additional questions!
