J R LAFLEUR, LONDON & PARIS, ARTIST Eb CLARINET, £645 |
|||||||
This is an extremely rare Lafleur London & Paris Eb clarinet, in superb condition.
Just as early Boosey and Hawkes pre-war 1010's were stamped London and Paris,
I have seen professional Lafleur clarinets similarly stamped. I am not sure of the history of the Lafleur brand, but prior
to their amalgamation into the Boosey and Hawkes group, they did seem to manufacture fine instruments.
This instrument is stamped "made in Paris France" on the reverse above the speaker key,
and it is of top quality French manufacture.
After their take over the Lafleur stamp seems to have been put on only poorer student models made by Boosey & Hawkes. |
