He stated directly Chicago . I know of 4 players there - Combs, Yeh,
Smith, and Bloom. 2 of those I know to endorse clarinets:
Combs - Leblanc
Yeh - Yamaha

I don't believe Bloom or Smith endorse a clarinet company presently.
Since he stated Chicago directly, I must come to the conclusion that
either Yeh or Combs is a hypocrite. No jump on the conclusion, just
following logic.

Here I jumped a little. If Alvin is referring to Combs, then the above
applies. If he's referring to Yeh, then he'd be insulting Kadzuo Fujii,
the player who was the primary instigator of the CS and SE series.

most certainly does.

On a regular basis? Tell me who, Roger.
