Regarding the recent inquiry about clarinets made by the Couesnon
et Cie. of Paris:
In the late '50's when I was a high school student, a music store
in my home town (Mobile, AL) sold clarinets made by Couesnon. A friend of mine
had one which I coveted mightily. It had lovely German silver keys; he was
able to
produce a lovely warm sound with it. He is the only person I ever knew who
had one of these instruments. I don't know if they are even made any more.
