Subj: Looking for a C Clarinet
Date: Mon, 26 Jun 1995 13:10:21 -0400

If you've ever (1) transposed bass clarinet in A, bass clef to Bb treble
clef; (2) sight-read the Schubert Octet at a chamber music workshop and
turned the page to find Clarinet in C; (3) not been able to rub your stomach
and pat your head at the same time; and (4) believe that if the composer
wrote for C clarinet, the music was meant to be played on a C clarinet, then
maybe you can help me.

I'm looking for a good C clarinet. I've heard from various folks in So.
California that the best "deal" is the Noblet C Clarinet. At least that what
Bob Gilbert thinks and I understand that many of the pros and doublers play
them.

If you have a line on any good C clarinet, please let me know ASAP. Because
I'm primarily a bass clarinet (including contra) player, I have a Selmer
(Paris) Eb soprano clarinet I might be interested in selling.

Thanks again for your help.
