【Excellent Condition, Ready to Play】Pan American "Brilliante" (Adjusted)

This is the top-of-the-line Brilliante model from C.G. Conn's Brother brand, Pan American, manufactured in the 1930s-40s!
This is not just a vintage item; it has been adjusted to be immediately usable in modern jazz and live performance scenes.

As you can see from the bell photo, it features a two-tone engraving with matte and glossy finishes, common in higher-end models of that era.

Unlike the thin sound often associated with metal clarinets, this instrument produces a brilliant, captivating tone that is uniquely rich, glamorous, and tightly focused, truly living up to its model name!
In terms of playability, I personally find it as easy to handle as modern instruments.

It is compatible with modern standard mouthpieces. (Confirmed with Vandoren 5JB and D'Addario mouthpieces, played without issue.)

It is a Low Pitch model, suitable for modern ensembles without any problems!
Mechanical noises have been eliminated, so it is ready for immediate use in recordings and other applications.

As it is a vintage instrument, it naturally has some minor scratches and signs of use. However, it has been fully disassembled, polished by a trusted repair shop, and all worn-out pads and corks were replaced this year. You can enjoy playing it as soon as it arrives!
For your reference, those seeking perfect, like-new appearance should refrain from purchasing.

Includes the original case.
This is not the simple box-like case often seen with old instruments; it has a highly cushioned interior that securely holds the instrument.
However, this instrument can be disassembled into four parts like a standard clarinet, and each section is almost the same length as a modern Bb clarinet, fitting into a standard clarinet case. I personally transported it in a Protec Bb clarinet case.

As I own multiple clarinets, I am reluctantly parting with this instrument.
I hope to pass it on to someone who will cherish it and is exploring the true value of metal clarinets.

Please feel free to ask any questions!
Thank you very much.
