Is there an advantage of playing in one of the old silver clarinet?

I have an old silver metal clarinet. It is in bad shape, and even plays a little, but needs a complete set of pills. This will cost at least $ 150.00 and a little over $ 200.00 I can buy a rebuilt clarinet, or I might have my former student Bundy reconstructed model. For me the main attraction of the clarinet is the appearance of silver. I play the clarinet (and sax), mainly for my own pleasure, and sometimes the local Shriner band. I must say that I appreciate the answers so far but will probably have to repadded anyway. This is 50% playable as it is, and has a decent tone. My playing is real only in a very loosely organized band in the volume is more important than quality, (I mainly play alto sax, clarinet only when necessary) and the visual statement of a silver metal instrument is a factor. If I get more serious with access to a good 1960 Noblet wooden clarinet.

I would not mind getting old silver metal clarinet made up. No matter how much work you do in it, will never sound as good as new one. I would that put him in a cabinet or something. It might even be worth a few Bob cos you do not see many of them nowadays. I cling to it for that reason though, instead of selling it. You should buy a new instrument. Do not bother to do the Bundy. I started on a Bundy, and tools that really is not right! Go with a buffet student model. It may cost a little more, but it would be worth it.
