Well,
The Ab clarinet is known as either the sopranino or piccolo; depending
on who you ask. It's tuning is comparable to an Eb, a little worse but not
much. Leblanc make mouthpieces for it, and Vandoren makes reeds for it; so
that's no problem. As of yet, it's not listed with WW&BW; but I expect it
to be soon at around $3,250. It's an intresting clarinet, I'd love to see
more people pick it up.
