Lauriol Boxwood C Clarinet, 19th Century HISTORIC COLLECTION

Lauriol C Clarinet - An Exquisite 19th-Century Artifact

The Lauriol C Clarinet, produced in Bordeaux, is a splendid representation of 19th-century woodwind craftsmanship, characteristic of a period rich in musical innovation. This piece was carefully constructed by the esteemed Lauriol, a celebrated maker known for his influence in the development of woodwind instruments during this time.

Distinctive Features

The clarinet is crafted from fine boxwood, a material favored for its aesthetic and acoustical properties in the 1800s. It is built in the unique key of 6, offering a clue to its specialized construction methods tailored for specific acoustic profiles of its era.

Historical Context

This clarinet hails from a period when instrument makers were on the cusp of modernizing traditional designs, blending aesthetics with emerging tonal demands. Lauriol's work reflects this transitional phase within the rich tapestry of musical development in France.

Condition and Use

This historic instrument is in a condition consistent with its age, showcasing patina and wear that attest to its storied past. It must be noted that the Lauriol C Clarinet is not guaranteed to be playable; it is offered solely as a significant historical artifact. Its condition represents its journey through history and is crucial for interpretive research and display. Suitable for collectors, researchers, museums, and academic institutions, this clarinet is a remarkable piece for those dedicated to preserving and studying antique musical instruments.

As this instrument is historically interesting, we have chosen to not do restoration work on it and leave that to the eventual owner. Instrument will need pad and keywork to be playable.
