ARTLEY FLUTE MODELS CRACK
The hard case has a crack in the plastic on the back. more good condition with only scratches and some wear. The metal has some aging and wear but the item is overall in. It comes complete in its original hard case. I don't know when they were first being produced.For sale I have a vintage Artley 18-0 Flute. Usually his clarinet mouthpieces were strictly plastic for student clarinets and came with the Artley and Armstrong clarinets, which were conveniently from the same factory. But they were all about sturdy student clarinets. The more modern ones also may have been tuned slightly sharp to take into consideration most newbie students who play flat due to softer reeds.īut your's being a 1974 model (the same year I bought my Couf Royalist II alto sax) I would think it may be totally different than a modern Artley. They also had smaller toneholes, also ideal for small student hands. This thick keywork (thick rings, etc) makes them ideal for students. Of the few modern ones I've had in my hands and worked on they were all really sturdy clarinets with thick keywork - though I haven't seen one in years. Thus yours would have been a Conn/Artley. I'm sure there's hundred of Wiki pages going over who bought who when in the last 30 years. I think at that time UMI already bought WT Armstrong which would have been in 1981 ?īefore that I think Conn owned Artley which was about 1960? They were produced, I think when UMI owned them, from the same factory as the Armstrong clarinets. Pre-UMI and post-UMI (approx year 2000 when UMI bought Artley). But there were essentially at least 4 generations of Artleys.
17S, 18S, something else then the Prelude. That said, I did get a really interesting-read antique-Albert system clarinet for the Big Band I play in, and I am planning on learning its key layout, but I just need to get this musical out of the way before I clutter up my head with yet another fingering system.Īrtley had several modern models. I'm not planning on upgrading, since playing clarinet is not going to become a regular thing for me. So insights that you could provide Steve, into my horn or MPs would be greatly appreciated. For that I figure 1 MP will be challenge enough, why mess around with 2. I don't know what it plays like, since I've just been concentrating on relearning all my fingerings again-more or less done, just trying to keep the L&R pinkie notes straight in my head is a challenge-and developing my clarinet embouchure. I also have a Selmer HS*, but I haven't tried it. I have a couple of those for alto and tenor from back in the day, as they were quite popular, but I don't know if the one I have for the clarinet is a jazz piece or not. Maybe you could tell me something about that too. My MP is a late 1970s Herb Couf Artist 4*. It doesn't sound any different to the wooden Buffet I sit next to-mind you that guy too is a sax player, and not the world's strongest clarinet player. I'm just surprised at the warmth in sound that it has. Since it's a simulated wood grain, composite body of some kind, I know it's a student horn of some kind, so I'm wondering how they compare to what's out there in general. I was wondering Steve, if you could give me any info on this little beast. I had it into my tech, who only had to replace 2 pads before I started playing it again.
ARTLEY FLUTE MODELS SERIAL
(At lest if the serial # chart on the Selmer USA website is correct.) Looking at it, you would think it is new. I remember ATT these instruments had a very good rep. I am quite amazed by this Artley 18S Prelude. I'm playing the Reed 3 book for Guys and Dolls. Then I gave up clarinet until about a month ago, when I picked it up again for a musical. I kept playing bass all throughout school and beyond into university. I played it for about a year, and then switched to the school bass. high, I got minty Artley 18S Prelude clarinet when I started my clarinet studies. Pete, Steve-whoever-please move to the appropriate sub-forum. Sorry I'm posting this here, since I don't know where to post this-which is part of the reason I'm asking some questions.
