Dear Bill,

Thank you for the information. I think there may be some mis-understanding. I
said "gold filled" means a metal clearinet which made of gold compund. Most
metal clarinet would be made of nickel and silver. What I actually in mind is
would there are any makers make some clarinets of 4k gold. (not the pads) Sounds
expensive ? isn't it?
