Welcome to Dash Vintage III,

Up for auction today is a Vintage Penzel Mueller Artist Model Clarinet. The Penzel Mueller "Artist" model is a highly regarded, professional-grade vintage clarinet manufactured in Long Island City, New York, primarily from the 1920s through the 1950s. Built by German immigrant craftsmen Gustav Penzel and Edward Müller, this flagship instrument was celebrated as America's direct, top-tier answer to dominant European makers like Buffet Crampon and Selmer. Unlike the sweeter, more delicate French style, the Artist model provides a robust, direct, and incredibly focused sound with massive dynamic projection. This heavy, free-blowing presence made it the weapon of choice for legendary mid-century jazz clarinet professionals, most notably Woody Herman (who played an Artist model exclusively before WWII) and New Orleans legend George Lewis. The Artist Model  clarinets were top of the line horns, during the period!

This clarinet is no exception. This is a genuine, high-end professional Penzel Mueller clarinet that is a true collector's piece being sold in unrestored "as-is" condition! As this instrument is historically interesting, I have chosen to not do restoration work on it and leave that to the eventual owner. This clarinet will for sure make a great addition for a professional and/or collector, so don't miss out!
