Today I received a note from Sheila Underwood of Orlando, FL. She is
on PRODIGY not INTERNET so she does not know about KLARINET. I quote
her question exactly. Don't ask me any questions. I am telling you much
more than I know.

"I ran across a quite odd-looking clarinet and was hoping you might help me to
identify it. It looks like and alto clarinet, but in the size of a soprano.
It plays in the key of C. It has a curved metal neck and curved up metal bell
at the bottom. The body is made of 'bakolite.' It is an Albert system and
may be ca. 1930 or prior. It might have 'Supertone' stamped across the top."

What on earth is this thing?
