I inherited a clarinet and am trying to find out more information about it. The only marking I can find on it is "G M Bundy" Paris marked on each piece. This appears to be a wood clarinet, and is in an old case that would hold two clarinets, but I have no idea how old the clarinet or case is.

1920`s vintage. Mr. Bundy aggravated the Selmer brothers by coming up with a professional clarinet to compete against the Selmer professional model, thus detracting from the Selmer model. To say "thank you" for him doing this, they waited until George Bundy died in the fifties to name their grade B line of instruments after him, so that Bundy would be junk, and Selmer high grade, and never equal.
