Noblet (Leblanc) was the last maker of quality metal clarinets, producing them into the late 1960s/early 1970s. This is an earlier Noblet metal clarinet Serial number 2027. We estimate that it was made in the 1930s. In great shape. It has a satin nickel-plated body and bright nickel-plated keys. No appreciable plating wear. Has had an earlier professional ferrule repair to the barrel receiver. We overhauled it with double skin pads and new corks. It comes with an older rubber mouthpiece and sound case. Please see the photographs. Own a quality metal clarinet with a modern mechanism. Noblets are among the better-playing metal clarinets. $550 plus shipping. Please note: As professional repair technicians, our labor to completely overhaul a clarinet is approximately $250-$300. When you purchase one of our clarinets, it has been professionally overhauled with the mechanism tightened, new double skin pads, and new corks. While you can purchase as-is instruments for less, it is likely that you will have to invest in an overhaul either before you play it or shortly thereafter. We don’t cut corners with cheaper supplies or patchwork. When you compare our quality, you will understand why we don’t accept lower “make offers” on our instruments.
