I have a question you might be able to answer for me.  I’m restoring an older D.Noblet clarinet  SN 48020.  The question: it is marked above the Noblet stamp on the top joint ‘Special’.  I haven’t ever in 50 years seen this Noblet model.  Have you ever restored/repaired a Noblet Special?  If so, what did you think about the clarinet.  The wood on this clarinet is absolutely beautiful.  And one more thing about this clarinet, it has a plastic bell, also with the D.Noblet stamp.
