I disagree. If you have an instrument, like this clarinet, which is
basically not worth anything (go look it up on Ebay), then rather than
throwing it in a landfill, making it a work of art or of function is a
great thing. I have a clarinet lamp. I also have a great wall art thing
which is based around an old C melody sax. Why throw it out when it can
still live on as something else?
Seriously though, that clarinet isn't worth fixing up. A repadding job
on a clarinet can cost upwards of $450. You can get a new clarinet for
that much.

My first bassoon teacher had a floor lamp made from a 5-key bassoon.
Even as a high school student I immediately understood that this was
wrong, and for this and other reasons I only stayed w. him for a month
or so.
Musical instruments are meant to be played. Period. If one of them is
beyond repair, then it should be discarded. Voilà tout.
I bet that somewhere near this Hager clarinet is some college student
who would just love to have a period clarinet for playing the Brahms
sonatas.
