Subj: Re: Selling my clarinet...need suggestions
Date: Sat, 15 Feb 1997 22:54:31 -0500

Patrick,
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll definitely try that. The only reason
why I would like to sell it at that price is because it's only a year old
and I bought it for about $1800. Do you think that $1600 is still too
expensive for a one year old clarinet? Just wondering. I don't want to
cause an argument. :-)
In fact, we (NY Youth) have a concert at Queens College tomorrow and I
can give my flyer to one of the kids from LaGuardia.

Thanks again!
