Superb MoBa Bb Clarinet in Cocobolo with Gold keys.

Incredibly rare on the second hand market this MoBa Bb Clarinet is an absolute delight to play. The sound and intonation are exceptional. The ergonomic key-work responds instantly and the black Valentino pads seal perfectly. This instrument has had light use over the last few years.
