I just got a good deal on an old King Wood clarinet, it has the King logo with Strasser, Paris, France, under on the logo. The clarinet is fairly old, there is some oxidizing on the keys, and it appears to be in need of some new pads, but it is worthy of an overhaul. There is a mouthpiece but no ligature, and there is a crack in the bell. Any ideas of what would be a good selling price for it? I will probably put it on eBay and I'm sure that someone will get a nice rare SML King clarinet. I know very little about these, but did play some in clarinet class in college during a short mus-ed major period.. Anyone out there interested? Or are there any SML King experts lurking out there who would care to take a shot at this? It looks old.. I think it would be an early 60s maybe late 50s clarinet if I were to take a shot. It has nickel plated keys. Nice wood, I think. Serial number is 15163, I searched online far and wide, no serial dates on these that I can find. .. Maybe it's a '63 model.. That might be too easy.. Thanks!

No response? It's on Ebay, for cheap. There are 10 watchers watching it so far--perhaps some who have read this post, perhaps. I would add any info about this that I haven't already placed on there to the auction in order to better inform potential buyers. Thanks!
