Contrabass Clarinet Parts Wanted:

[PrincessJ]

Does anyone have these parts for a Vito Contrabass clarinet?:

Lower neck joint (the one the mouthpiece goes in to)

A bunch of fitting screws for the keywork of any kind (any is better than none)

And if you have an old, dinged up, unused bell, any condition, even if it looks like it's been hit by a truck, I may be interested if someone can give me a decent price!

I have a "reasonable" budget but I'm not trump so it's a little tighter than most, give me a price and I'll see what I can do.

And yes, I checked the auction site.

Thanks in advance for any help and I look forward to any replies. Help save the poor contrabass.

You might want to mention if you're talking about a Bb or Eb horn. There are some folks that still use the term "Eb contrabass clarinet."

Anyhow, you also might want to contact Leblanc, themselves.

I'm just afraid of the prices leblanc is going to spit out

Worth a try but if no avail, I'll be right here waiting.

Yah. I checked and a new Vito is $4.5K. Pricey.
