Thanks for the information on the Ambience clarinets...I look forward to
trying them.

I was in London for 3 months in 1997 (Feb-April) to do, among other things,
research on a bio of Reginald Kell. I heard several of the BBC orchestra
concerts in the Stravinsky series. Were you playing any of these? One of the
interviews I did was with Stephen Trier, a very nice gentleman...used to play
bass clar. with the LSO, I think...a former colleague and chum of Kell. If
you have any insights into Kell the musician or man, I'd be glad to see them.
There's not a lot written about him, unfortunately.
I was sorry to here on the BBC about the death of Michael Tippett, one of my
favorite composers.
Best wishes,

Jim Sclater
