Subj: Re: [kl] McIntyre System Clarinet ?

The only thing that I can tell about the McIntyre is that I remember seeing
them advertised somewhere maybe 25-30 years ago. At that time I remember the
address being in Naugatuck, CT. I recall that it has a number (4?) of closed
pads up where you would expect to see the throat A key. The system had
something to do with eliminating the break. I have never seen one other than
in pictures. A few years ago a private student of mine said she knew someone
who had one.
