show more We can see from the photos that all parts of this alto clarinet are present. However, to be played again professionally, it needs a full restoration. The Pelitti instrument workshop was founded in Varese in the region of Lombardy, Italy. The founding member of the family was Luigi Giulio Melchisedech PELITTI (1736-after 1735). Luigi Pelitti started out making harpsichords and church organs before he turned his hand to wind instruments. He was the first of five generations of instrument makers – considered by many to be the best of their time. Giuseppe Pelitti (1811-1865) and his son Giuseppe Clemente Pelitti (1837-1905) were two family members who were famed and prized for their innovations. Among the special instruments they created were the bombardino (a B-flat euphonium), the tromba alla bersagliera or Bersag horn and the trombone basso Verdi. show less
