Antique English Boxwood B-flat Clarinet by John Parker (London) c.1770 – c. 1815 
 
Six flat and square brass keys.
Length from bell ring to top of barrel is 605 mm; to the top of the original mouthpiece, 668 mm.    
Bell ring is a modern boxwood replacement. Other mountings are original. Stamped with the name of the maker on each joint. 
This one’s being offered with two mouthpieces, one pre-1800 that is not playable, another that’s three mm shorter that works well with the clarinet.
The case might be original, more likely English from the middle 19th century.
Wood is in fine condition except for an old crack to the bell. See photos, please.
