Here's the amp: a Peavey Max 110 bass amp. And I think it's only 20 watts, not 30.

I can't see the clarinet as clearly as the amp, but they both look pretty well preserved.

Yeah, the first pictures of the clarinet were taken with a ****ty iPhone camera, lol! Here's a couple of better ones:

Front:



Back (with reed):



And for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, here is my most prized possession - my flute!



Yes, the only good spot (read: clean enough to post online) was in front of the closet door with the Beatles poster on it!

Nice. I still have a crappy clarinet in my closet but I've never managed to produce sound from it, pretty sure the mouthpiece is missing a few components to hold the reed in place with enough pressure or something.

I also picked up a flute earlier this past summer for all of $30 (and a melodica the same week), the flute is a Gemeinhardt M2, and I CAN make sound with this one

I wish my flute was $30, but no... the base price for mine was about $3,500 but then I outfitted it with a custom mouthpiece (head joint), which was another $1,500, so $5,000 plus tax. Silver body, silver plated keys, and solid silver head joint. Of course, everything is chrome plated because tarnished silver is just ass ugly. Bought it at Long and McQuade in Toronto. It's for school, so well worth the investment.

The very first flute I had was a Gemeinhardt 2SP. Lasted me throughout middle school and high school. It had good sound, but it was quite heavy as I think it had a nickel body. It was just a student flute - not the open hole kind that I have now.

It's possible that your clarinet is missing the ligature - the metal piece that holds the reed in place. I know mine is missing the cork from the mouthpiece, so air leaks out a bit when you play it. Since I'm not a serious (or very good, for that matter) clarinet player, I'm thinking about getting one of the cheaper mouthpiece kits they have at Long and McQuade - mouthpiece, ligature, and molded cap.

I'd love to get a melodica, they're not that expensive, are they?

Not at all expensive compared to a proper flute. I think the top end melodicas with fancy hardwood bodies are like $300. I paid $75 for a plastic Suzuki student model.

My flute is also an old student model from the late 70s, and for $30 it could use a little work. A couple of the valves stick or don't move smoothly but that's just a matter of cleaning and possibly replacing a spring, but it also leaks a little so I'm not really sure how to address that (thinking blowtorch and pliers is a bad idea). Either way for a completely non-professional player with no intent of really doing anything besides annoying the apartment cat, it's pretty awesome hahahaha.
