Hi all, I just found this forum and I'm thrilled. :-D I have 2 kids who each play an instrument... I love to browse the forums to learn about their instruments, care... and lots of other great information. (I've been a member of a trumpet forum for a couple of years as well.)
So I'm hoping you can shed some light on the Noblet I just purchased. I've been to Clarinet Perfection (excellent site!) and got some great info, but no emblems identical to the one I have. The clarinet is all wood, is stamped MADE IN FRANCE and the Serial # 2530 and the emblem is oval with what looks to me like a harp at the top, D.NOBLET PARIS inside the oval, and the DN at the bottom. On Clarinet Perfection, Models 7165 and 340 each show serial #'s that fall within this range and would be from 1967 or 1975, but there are no pics for these models so I'm still unsure. I originally thought it would be a 40 or 45 but now I just don't know. Can you identify it...and do you know if it's student/intermediate or pro?
Have a great day! Sandy
