Ed, it is good of you to have tried to send the picture and
article to all of us. However, I do want you to know that there
was a gigantic discussion of this very instrument, that picture,
the Poulin discovery, etc., etc. something like 18-24 months ago
on this list.

The fact that you are posting on this subject a second time is
good because there are a lot of new people here who did not take
part in the discussion first time round, so my comments here are
not meant as a rebuke. Only that a search of the data base
(using, for example, "Poulin" and "Stadler's basset clarinet"
might have turned up a lot and saved you some time.

I heard Poulin speak on this matter in Salzburg in 1991. It
was a marvellous discovery for which I salute her. The fact
that Stadler's b.c. had a bell like and English horn and not
flared like the traditional clarinet bell was a revelation to
me and to many of the early instrument players.
