{"product_id":"goulding-and-dalmaine-boxwood-clarinet","title":"Goulding and D'Almaine Boxwood Clarinet","description":"\u003cp\u003eA five-keyed simple-system clarinet pitched in C, the early keywork style that predates the modern Boehm system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt in five sections of boxwood with ivory ferrules and ivory mounts. The five brass keys have flat, square covers mounted in blocks. Each section is stamped with a crown over \"Goulding \u0026amp; Co.,\" while the bell carries the fuller mark: a crown flanked by foliate garlands over \"Goulding \u0026amp; D'Almaine, Soho Square, London.\" The crown denotes the firm's royal appointment. The Soho Square address together with the Goulding \u0026amp; D'Almaine trade name date the instrument to roughly the 1820s into the early 1830s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecently overhauled by Matthew Slauson. In excellent condition for its age; the only notable flaw is a minor chip to one of the tenons, which does not affect playability. Exceptional preservation for a boxwood clarinet approaching two centuries old.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Maker\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGoulding \u0026amp; D'Almaine was an English firm of music sellers, publishers, and instrument makers based in London. Founded by George Goulding in 1785, the business took Thomas D'Almaine into partnership in 1798 and then traded under a succession of names as the partners changed. It became Goulding \u0026amp; D'Almaine after Potter left the firm around 1823, operating from 20 Soho Square, and was succeeded by D'Almaine \u0026amp; Co. around 1834.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Irish Flute Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47834710802658,"sku":"pX4YumTy-BINE97a8","price":1499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2140\/2331\/files\/1Q7A8443.jpg?v=1780092546","url":"https:\/\/www.irishflutestore.com\/products\/goulding-and-dalmaine-boxwood-clarinet","provider":"Irish Flute Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
