Clarinet

38026, Christmas Ornament from Merck Family's Old World Christmas

**New for 2008**

Black clarinet ornament with silver keys. Measures 5 3/4"

The Clarinet evolved from an earlier singe-reed, woodwind instrument in the late1600s. It was improved voer the years, and Mozart was the first composer to use the clarinet in a symphony. With its lovely and unique sound, the clarinet is equally at home in orchestras and swing or jazz bands.

This traditional and beautiful glass ornament was carefully mouth-blown into a finely crafted mold. Then a hot solution of liquid silver was poured inside. Finally, it was delicately hand-painted and glittered for you to enjoy and cherish as a holiday heirloom!
