I know, I know...

It's Black with shiny keys and has a box to carry it in, and the
serial number is either 2, something, something ... or 3, something,
something, or maybe even 1, someting, something, but it has... 6,
yes, 6 numbers in the serial number.
The mouthpiece has a clamp-type thingy to hold a reed, which may or
may not still be on the mouthpiece, I forget... Oh, yeah, the
instrument comes in 5 pieces, very distingishable. Where there are
normally corks, there are funny looking black plastic stuff, or was
it brown... I forget... Oh... and the music was written on funny
lined paper. 5 lines, I think...

Anyway, please send it back right away. I haven't been in New York
City for 14 years, and I told that clarinet not to get on that
Greyhound!

thanks...

Steve
