One of my students has a friend who is looking at a wooden "Harry

clarinet. I haven't seen this, nor heard of that make before. My guess is
that it is quite old, and probably wasn't very good even new. Anyone know
of that brand?

I have run across two of these in the last 3 years. Both have been good
clarinets for student use; as good as any current student line Selmer or
Buffet. One of these instruments had superior intonation, the other was
almost as good. Unfortunately they hold an adjustment about as good as
your average Vito....
