Vintage Clarinet Photos


This young gentleman is posing with 3 Albert-system clarinets. Looks like C, Bb, and A clarinets.


Here is a young soldier (i'm guessing WW1 era) posing with his Boehm system clarinet


This duo posed proudly in front of an American flag with their instruments. The guy on the left is holding a pocket trumpet(?), and the guy on the right is holding an Albert system clarinet (I think--kind of hard to tell).


Here's another soldier. I have no idea what era this pic is from, but I'm guessing late 1800's. He's got an Albert system instrument.


This is a scan of a daguerrotype. The gentleman is playing an Albert system Eb clarinet with what looks like ivory rings at the tenons.


Here is a young man in a band uniform holding his Albert system clarinet. Nice clear shot of the instrument.


This man is playing a Boehm system instrument. This may be a famous jazz player, but I'm not sure.


Here's another gentleman posing with an Albert system clarinet.


This guy looks to be in a band uniform, although it could be a military uniform. I can't really make out what kind of clarinet he's got.


This has to be about the cutest vintage pic I've found. This young boy is holding his Albert system Eb clarinet.


These boys are wearing band uniforms and hats that say "Liberal". I'm guessing Liberal, KS. The boy on the right is holding a nice example of an Albert system clarinet.


This is a tin-type photo of a gentleman with an early Albert systen clarinet.


This gentleman is wearing a band uniform and is holding what looks to me like an Albert system sopranino clarinet.
