I have also been trying to find info on the Weimar clarinet, but without much luck. I took a risk and bought one for my child, once it has arrived I will let you know the quality.

Weimar have been around a long time here, I have seen some from the early 1920s in collections. They are well-regarded as a quality instrument, but are rarely seen now.
In fact, I didn't realise they were still being made.

Just guessing, but I would bet that someone is making a knockoff and using the old Weimar name.

Has anyone heard of a Weimar trumpet? I've been having some trouble finding information about this brand. I bid on one on Ebay and am not sure if I made a mistake or not. Thank you for your time and help regarding this subject.

Hi, I just purchased a Weimar flute on Ebay. There seems to be a few of us who have purchased from this person, as far as I can tell by reading your posts. Someone here said they've been around for decades, and possibly these are knockoffs. The person selling them is a power seller on Ebay and has thousands of sales with a fairly decent positive feedback score, so I bought it. It only came to $77.00 including shipping. They said the pads are american made and the tone & quality is suppose to be excellent. Hoping I didn't make a mistake. The only one selling this brand on Ebay or anywhere that I can tell, is this person and one other person selling 3 Weimar instruments. I suspect maybe purchased from the same seller I bought from. Urgggh! Really hope I did the right thing. Any comments from ya'll would be appreciated.

The biggest problem with buying a no-name instrument, or a supposedly new instrument at a price that ridiculously low is that you will quite likely have trouble getting it repaired. I have had students purchase instruments over ebay or in local stores that have paid very little, but when it comes time to do a repair or adjustment on it the local music store cannot get the parts! The bottom line is that you get what you pay for. If you are going to buy a musical instrument somewhere other than a reputable music store then always ask at your local repair shop if they can get parts and/or fix it if it breaks or goes out of alignment.
