Niall: I am interested in your Irish situation. You mentioned the
Guildhall in London and /or Manchester Royal School (Northern). What is
the prevailing instrumental choice amongst your professinal players for
instruments? With the demise of the large bore Boosey & Hawkes 1010 some
years ago many English player that I know are now playing on Buffet and
similar instruments. Some of the English players are quite set on the
large bore .600" British clarinet. So Peter Eaton makes them up to the
older specs. I realize we are talking Ireland and not England. But the
large bore 1010 clarinet still has wide use in the UK. How goes it in
Eire? Ron Monsen, LRAM
