Friends,

I will be off the net for about 10 days as I am off to Europe with my
beloved.

I will leave you with one thought: Clarinets are cheap, too cheap. The
remarkably low price we pay for a standard Bb clarinet has made competition
from small builders virtually impossible. The advent of the the large
warehouse dealers selling clarinets for dollars above cost has forced
smaller dealers to give up on carrying high end clarinets which further
limits you the consumer from a variety of choices.

And finally, keep Leeson on a short leash.
