The clarinet is in very good condition and all pads and cork are new. It has been completely cleaned and serviced. Has all Nickel silver body, bell & barrel in very good condition with some minor nicks and scratches. Has all silver-nickel keys that are all in very good working order. 2 of the keys do have most of the silver plating missing but still look very good. The barrel is in excellent condition. The bell is in great shape also but does have minor nicks and scratches. The Logo on the Bell reads  " BRILLIANTE " PAN AMERICAN, ELKHART IND. USA. .   The serial # is stamped on the underside of one of the lower long key levers. I am not sure if the Mouthpiece is original. The mouthpiece is a clear lucite - plastic "Conn Precision, #2 " That plays very easy. The tip, rails and facing are in very good condition with no chips, but there are some large stress cracks in the plastic from age(Pic # 9). Mouthpiece is solid with no air leaks. The Ligature and cap are made of brass and I think are original. Lig is in very good condition.  Cap does have some dings in it but does fit well. The case I believe is original though it has no logo. The case is a brown wood case with cloth type covering and red shaggy inner lining. Case is solid and all latches , hindges, and handle work ok. The cloth covering on the outside of case has lots of tears and wear but looks fair. Case red inner lining has been cleaned and is in ok condition but does have discoloration and stains but overall looks ok.,  *************************(Specifics) This clarinet is in very good condition and plays well, but is not in "MINT" condition. Overall it looks great  but there is lots of little scratches and nicks from normal use.The back of the thumb rest does have lots of wear and shows bronze,  2 keys have lots of silver loss and are almost solid brass color.(the lower top 1 of the 4 keys together on the bottom & the little key under the 2 keys that cross over each other on the top section),.
