How much is a bundy resonite clarinet serial no S246112 worth?

I have to say : not very much; practically worthless except for a beginner; and ONLY if it is in good condition. The Bundy was very popular in the late 50's when it first came on the scene and was advertised as indestructible. However, it proved to be the opposite: it broke easily if dropped on a hard service and could not be repaired very well after a break. I had one that actually melted down in my car on a 4 hour road trip in very high temperatures.

What kind of wood clarinet from elkhart Indiana with serial number 424NB324477L is this and how much is it worth?

It is basically the same as the 444n model which means it is a pro quality big bore, straight tone hole model best for playing loud and bending notes.

Be careful, you will need the correct mouthpiece to realize optimum intonation...which will be "OK" but not like a new horn.

Great keywork and sound!

It is Grenadilla wood aka african blackwood and in mint condition aftera fresh overhaul...IF you can find a buyer and if it is a good example of a 424N...as high as 1600.... but most likely only half that.

Good horns,... recommended by Artie Shaw and Johnny Mince back in the day

Which is a better Clarinet Selmer Bundy or Selmer CL300?

Both the CL-300 and 301 are very good student instruments. The CL-300 was produced during the 1990s (1990-1999) and has a glossy finish. The CL-301 comes with a satin finish that Selmer refers to as "simulated wood", but both are good quality plastic instruments. The older Selmer/Bundy instruments were, in their heyday, among the most ubiquitous (and less expensive) student instruments that you could buy. They were pretty reliable but were targeted for the beginner(s). Still good to keep around during high school for marching band (outside) drilling and performances, but the CL-300/301 series are, IMO, better quality instruments.

What might cause my Buffet R13 clarinet to play only open G up to C after playing it for about 45 minutes?

Have you checked the springs on instrument or taken it in to an instrument technician? Check your embouchure, perhaps you are getting tired and need a short break. Another thing to check out is your finger placement over the tone holes to be sure you are completely covering them. Try out the second and third ideas before going to a technician.

What kind of weather can clarinets play in?

An ABS plastic or hard rubber clarinet can play in just about any weather. Even in the rain if it is equipped with waterproof pads (Valentino pads). You can literally dunk it in water, shake it out and start playing, though I wouldn't recommend it (you'd surely start getting some rust on the springs and in the screws holes).

In really cold winter weather like we have around here the high school band clarinet kids have a hard time with their fingers getting too cold to move smoothly and also with the key oil getting too thick, which causes the keys to get stiff or lock up. A plateau clarinet, which has covers on all the keys, would permit them to use gloves, and "changing the oil" to a lower viscosity (possibly silicone based) would help with key lockup problems. But plateau clarinets are very expensive and have their own set of problems (hard to keep adjusted, expensive to repair) and aren't something the average person adds to their instrument collection.

The hot summers don't seem to pose many problems for the clarinet section besides heat stroke out on the practice field.

With a wood clarinet you have to be very careful about temperature changes and using it outdoors in winter weather is very likely to cause something to crack - usually the barrel or upper joint, caused by the temperature difference between the outside temperature and one's warm breath.

What is the cheapest clarinet brand?

The brand isn't really the thing that matters. It matters on where you buy it. I, being a profession clarinet player in Europe, buy my clarinets at the local music shop. My first clarinet I got I bought online for $30.00, and it was in great condition. I suggest buying your first one online.

Where is a clarinets corks at?

1978 Chevy caprice classic 4 door with air and you wanted to know if you have a choice when it comes to different size radiators for your car being based on width and height and thickness.?

The answer is yes! My freind had a 1988 Caprice and the specified size was something around $270. I said that is crazy when I can buy a 3 core Modine at Advance that is slightly (maybe 2") longer but the same height and same connections. I bought it for around $80 and even with the anti-freeeze it was under a hundy. What I did was just bend the transmission fluid lines ober a bit but it really fit great. I put a bunch of videos I took on youtube. Many are about cars and driving, some about travel and others just plain stupid. Hope this keeps you cool. vbdenny
