I just read this article. Apparently, Mr. Ridenour has discovered a clarinet
that plays itself. How have clarinetists managed to play at all for the last 2
1/2 centuries without this new Selmer? It boggles the mind.

On the other hand, another (very well known) former Leblanc artist has been
playing one (two?) of these off and on, according to rumors I have heard. . .
