I found the following posted on the rec.music.classical newsgroup. I
thought someone on the klarinet list might have a response for
13-year-old Frances.

Frances,
I'm forwarding your plaintive plea for help to the clarinetist mailing
list (KLARINET). Currently, there is a very interesting discussion about
E-flat clarinets. Someone on that list will undoubtedly post a response
to you with a copy to the list. (I hope.)
