Simple system key layout typical of late 19th to early 20th century European woodwinds. Includes both body joints and the original fitted blue velvet lined case.
The instrument shows significant age and wear, including worn corks, aged pads, finish wear, and case deterioration. Untested and sold as found. No maker's mark has been located, though the design suggests European manufacture, likely dating between 1880 and 1925.
An excellent candidate for restoration, collection, display, museum use, period performance research, or decorative antique musical instrument décor.
