Am corresponding with a seller who has a Linton bass clarinet for sale. He
indicates it is a low Eb instrument, anywhere from 25 to 50 years old,
wood, and actually made by a Robert Malerne in Paris. He notes, in
addition, that Malerne also made instruments identified as "Olds Specials"
even though Olds and linton were Elkhart firms.

Would appreciate any comments/information/leads on this make of bass
clarinet and, if possible, its reputation among bass clarinet players.

Thanks...Fred S.
