LARK, an old clarinet made in China. The bell is stamped with "MADE IN CHINA." It appears to be an old instrument, likely 20-30 years old. There are Japanese markings, suggesting it was sold for the Japanese market, but details are unknown. The mouthpiece has faded lettering, but it appears to say "Vandoren Paris." It seems to be a Vandoren product, but since the body is made in China, it's uncertain if it's genuine. All parts fit together without any looseness. The item for sale shows signs of aging, but the plating is not very tarnished and is relatively clean. I confirmed that it produces sound with the included mouthpiece. As a beginner, I was able to play notes down to the lowest key with my left and right pinky fingers. I also confirmed that the octave key raises the pitch when pressed without pressing any other keys. Since I am not an advanced player, please consider that further adjustments and maintenance may be necessary for the higher octaves. In my subjective opinion, it has a good sound for a plastic clarinet. I tried other mouthpieces, but the Vandoren? one produced a fuller, better sound. It might be a Vandoren. The reed has been thinned to make it easier to produce sound. The tip is untouched, and the reed has been thinned from about 1cm down to the base. This makes the reed vibrate more easily. The reed has been disinfected with alcohol. I will accept returns if you cannot produce sound with the included mouthpiece and reed using the keys I tested. I cannot accept returns if you use other mouthpieces or reeds, as I have not confirmed their functionality. An old case is included. It shows signs of aging. Please refrain from purchasing if you are a perfectionist or overly concerned about the appearance.
