There should be alot about the Elite in the Archives, if you have Internet
access (I don't. I mail stuff from work.) It was discussed about 2 1/2 or 3
years ago. This is what I remember from that go-around. Those people who
sampled the instrument felt that it was not "dark" but suprisingly
bright-toned. The instrument weighs significantly less than an R-13, and
some posters felt that the people who sampled or played the Elites (and
said they were "bright") were letting the instrument's weight affect their
feelings about the sound. Quotations were dragged out from Stubbin's
sovereign "The Art of Clarinetistry," a book that is about anything BUT
art.
