>>Eduard Brunner was born in Switzerland (Basel, I think) and was first

>>I believe that he now teaches at the Hochschule fur Musik just outside
>>Munich.

>>Does anyone know (FOR ABSOLUTE CERTAIN) if Brunner plays a French or
>>German system of clarinet? I know that it would be extraordinarily
>>difficult for a French system player to have held such a position
>>under Kubelik because the German orchestras as so very firm in their
>>conviction not to use French system players, but that conclusion, while
>>rational, may not be true; i.e., Brunner is such an exceptional player
>>that he is the kind of guy for whom exceptions are made.
>>
>>Does anyone know for sure, sure, sure, by personal knowledge, not hearsay,
>>what system Eddie Brunner uses??
