As a slight twist to this discussion: I have an A clarinet which is
stamped CZECHO-SLOVAKIA (with hyphen). It is supposed to be a
Petzel-Mueller, but that logo appears only on the bell. Does anyone know
if there was a time associated with the hypnenated and un-hyphenated
varients of that (former) country's name?
