H Bettoney Boston US Army WWII Metal Clarinet With C.B. Co Case Vintage

CONDITION

Previously owned and in vintage used condition. The clarinet shows age-related cosmetic wear and could benefit from polishing. The pads appear aged and may need to be replaced before regular playing use.

The included C.B. Co case shows obvious exterior and interior wear consistent with its age. The case latches are somewhat difficult to operate and may require assistance when opening.

This clarinet has not been professionally serviced or fully play tested. Please review all photos carefully for the exact cosmetic condition and additional details.

DESCRIPTION

You are looking at a vintage H. Bettoney Boston metal clarinet with an included C.B. Co carrying case.

H. Bettoney & Co. was a Boston-based musical instrument manufacturer known for producing clarinets and other woodwind instruments during the early-to-mid 20th century. This example features all-metal construction and has the distinctive appearance associated with military-era metal clarinets.

The clarinet remains in fairly good overall vintage condition considering its age, although it shows normal wear from previous ownership and storage. The metal exterior would benefit from polishing, and the pads may need replacement or servicing.

The included vintage C.B. Co case shows substantial age-related wear. The latches remain present but can be difficult to open and may require some assistance.

Because of the age of this instrument and the potential need for pad replacement or adjustment, it is being sold without a guarantee of playability. It may be a good candidate for restoration, display, collecting, or use by someone familiar with vintage clarinets.

Please see all pictures for full condition details and to verify markings, components, and contents.
