Subj: Old Strasser Clarinet
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 1998 10:06:16 -0400

My father was given a SML Strasser clarinet, serial number
6543, by a friend. He brought it home to me - I'm now the owner of a
brand-new R-13A and in the long run am looking to replace my Selmer
Signet with an R-13 as well.

I had never heard of this instrument before, but I played it for a few
minutes and was amazed at its nice, rich tone compared to my Selmer
horn. And its shape and mechanical layout almost exactly matches my new
R-13A.

I guess the question I'm asking is if I have this clarinet repadded and
adjusted, will I, as it seems now, have a R-13 quality instrument?

Thanks...

P.S. I'm a high school sophomore, have been in All-west two years on
alto sax, and all-state one year on clarinet. Currently, I'm preparing
for local youth symphony auditions on clarinet.
