Silver Clarinet Lamp

Metallic silver clarinets had their heyday in the early to mid-twentieth century before the advent of plastic. The best silver clarinets could compete favorably with their wooden brethren, but the majority of silver clarinets were manufactured for outdoor or student use and were of lesser quality. The cost to overhaul these old beauties far exceeds their value as musical instruments, so many of them are finding new life as lamps.

I acquired this clarinet for a song on eBay. I bought a lamp base on the web, a lamp kit at the local big box hardware store, a lamp shade at a lighting store and voila!
