Subj: IMS Price List (resend)

Sorry about the last message - the infamous California mailing list gremlin
struck again and hit my "send" key while I was out sunbathing. Please
ignore the previous post.

Clarinetists-

I just got the latest catalog from International Music Suppliers, and
thought that I'd pass along some of the prices. Please note that I don't
know if these are particularly good prices or not, but thought it would be
interesting as they quote prices on some very high-end instruments (which
is pretty unusual) and this can provide a point of comparision. Also note
that I'm not in any way affiliated with IMS.

don't let mail-order houses list prices for some reason.
