Description: | This clarinet is stamped with the name of Henry Lazarus, who taught at the Royal Academy of Music and the Royal College of Music. He promoted the Boehm system clarinet to his students and recommended it in his tutor. This is the key system most used by clarinettists in Britain today.
Clarinet in A, made of Dalbergia melanoxylon (African blackwood, grenadilla), with nickel silver ferrules and keys. The clarinet has Boehm system fingering with a speaker/register key at the front of the body. The keys are pillar mounted with circular cups and leather pads. The five joints are connected by cork lapped tenons, apart from a string lapped tenon on the mouthpiece. The ferrules are extended to line the sockets. A stamped inscription appears on every joint: 'BUFFET/Crampon & Cie/A.PARIS', with an extended version on the upper joint: 'BUFFET/Crampon & Cie/A.PARIS/BREVETES/S.G.D.G'. Every joint apart from the mouthpiece also has a harp emblem stamped on the front and the number 1200 stamped on the back. The upper joint is also stamped: 'APPROVED/BY/J.PARK'. The lower joint and bell are also stamped: 'LAZARUS'. A paper label is attached to the back of the upper joint with a hand written description in D. J. Blaikley's hand: '125 A CLARIN/COCUSWOOD/BOEHM SYST'.
