Series 1A: Trill keys mounted on three sets of posts, rounded shield with a serifed “Normandy” script, setscrew for A/D key on “back” side of post. Pictured from left to right: each variant of the series 1 Reso-Tone, except 1E. Pedantic? Yes, but a couple of the changes were rather significant. There were several variants within each series. Serial numbers were re-set for the second series, which is why I use this as the defining factor. The second series used conventional shoulderless pivots with a dab of locking compound, as is still used today on the Vito. The first series uses a shoulderless pivot screw with a setscrew to lock it in place (like what’s used on a Conn). There are two distinct “series” of the Reso-Tone. Given the seemingly low production of the 11, I’m assuming a mid-1954 introduction for the 14 knowing I can’t be more than a year off. The 11 was not marked Reso-Tone, but others call it such. It’s unclear, however, if this refers to the Normandy 11 or 14. Selmer, Leblanc began using the Reso-Tone name in September 1953. This page is for the Model 14, the familiar Reso-Tone model made in Kenosha.Īccording to a court case between G. These seem to be rare, although there was a Noblet 11 sold in Europe that is almost certainly the same thing. The first plastic Normandy was the Model 11, made in France. A serial number chart is at the bottom of the page. I’ll cover the early Vitos here eventually as well. Intermediate, or step-up clarinets usually range in cost $1,300 to $2,800 and entry level pro clarinets (still largely played by advanced students) around $2000 and up.With how many Normandy Reso-Tones I’ve come across, I felt it would be worthwhile to put something together on them as what little information is out there is incomplete. Clarinetīeginner clarinets usually range in cost from $500 to $1100. The B12 is a great choice for beginners and will take a player through to around Grade 4/5 standard….Post navigation.
The clarinet is dependable and produces a high-quality sound for a student instrument.
