Subj: [kl] Chadash and Moennig new Question
Date: Fri, 20 Nov 1998 06:17:03 -0500

I took my clarinet into the shop today to have my new Chadash barrel fitted to
the upperjoint, it was getting stuck. The repairman, who is a reputable man
from New York who is now living in Florida (I have decided against giving his
name) did the work. When I returned to pick up my horn he informed me that
the measurements of the Chadash were exactly those of Hans Moennig's original
measurements. Since these Chadash barrels play so differently from my Moennig
ones, I was surprised of this information. He added that after Moennig's
death Buffet had altered or changed the dimentions of the "Moennig barrel,"
or just didn't maintain the control over the product with the amount of
scrutiny that Mr. Moennig once did. So my questions to the list are: What
are these measurements and are they copyrighted? By whom? Does anyone believe
that I was given erroneous information? Did Chadash work with Moennig?
Many Thanks
