Subj: Price of Selmer clarinets in 1939
Date: Fri, 1 Dec 1995 13:28:39 -0500

A brand new clarinet Selmer clarinet (in 1939) was, at most $35-$40.
It was when the war began that French clarinet prices went up
dramatically because they were no longer available. My father
bought me a LeMaire clarinet in 1944 and it cost an unheard of $200.
