Description :

Vintage Artley “Century” Model 78-S clarinet, made in the USA.

This is a student-level wood clarinet with silver-tone keywork, commonly used for school band programs.

This item is a black Atley clarinet featuring a classic woodwind design with a smooth, matte‑finish body. The instrument is fitted with silver‑colored keys, rods, and rings, all of which appear clean and well‑aligned along the length of the clarinet.

It includes a standard mouthpiece at the top and a flared bell at the bottom, giving it the traditional silhouette associated with student and intermediate clarinets. The overall construction suggests a lightweight, durable instrument suitable for band students, practice use, or casual performance.

The finish and keywork present a neat, polished appearance, highlighting the craftsmanship typical of entry‑level to mid‑range clarinets.

Instrument appears complete and includes all main sections (see photos), but is untested and may require cleaning, reed replacement, and general servicing before use. 


Dimensions : 26 in L x 3.25 in W
