<< And I also add that in a previous discussion of metal clarinets,
the first clarinet in the Boston Symphony about 75 years ago played
on a metal instrument, and many of the members of this list still
have excellent ones. They are also made out of bamboo (which I
have not played) and glass, too. >>

Wow! Glass clarinets! What were thoes like? Who makes them? Can you still
get some today?
