JEREMY; I SUGGEST YOU BEGIN BY READING SOME OF THE LITERATURES AND REVIEWS
CONCERNING THE NEW INSTRUMENTS. IF YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THE INTERNATIONAL
CLARINET ASSOCIATION YOU SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A LARGE MAILING. IF NOT THEN
YOU CAN CONTACT THE LEBLANC CORPORATION AT 7001 LEBLANC BLVD, KENOSHA, WI
53141-1415 FOR MATERIALS. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO DESCRIBE IN
WORDS WHAT AN INSTRUMENT IS LIKE AND HOW ONE DIFFERS FROM THE OTHERS. BUT
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP AN OPEN MIND AND TO LISTEN WITH ONE'S EARS AND NOT
ONE'S EYES. I MUST RUN OFF TO LOUISVILLE FOR A SERIES OF AUDITIONS FOR THE
UPCOMING GOVERNOR'S SCHOLARS SESSIONS. MORE LATER.
