Description
Six-keyed C clarinet by Roustagnéq.
This six-keyed C clarinet is crafted in boxwood, with ivory rings and brass keys. Two of the brass keys played using the little finger of the left hand, can be adjusted in length. Perfect for anyone with little hands! The workmanship is of a very high level and the boxwood has a lovely, aged honey colour.
In terms of its maker, it’s a bit of a mystery. Louis Sauveur Roustagnéq (then spelt as Roustagnénq), an instrument maker, lived and worked in Toulon from 01/01/1732 until he died on 21/09/1807. There are several examples of instruments by this maker. But this clarinet does not display the typical keywork and characteristics of an 18th century instrument and also has a different stamp. Therefore, it was not made by Louis Sauveur… so maybe one of his children around 1830….?
