*I'm* game. Believe it or not, I'd love one of those monsters to
march with. There's nothing more annoying to an arrogant Trumpet
section than a tinny, loud slightly off-key clarinet ;-)

Seriously, I am interested. I'd like to experiment with one
since a lot of the odder 20's & 30's jazz bands used them--
they were apparently cheap & plentiful back then. How much
are you asking for a playable, relatively in-tune one?
