Subj: SV: [kl] Bass clarinet in A
Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2000 01:41:54 -0400

What I meant, Dan, was some information on the full-böhm A-clarinet. The
rest was just curiosity. Sorry for the confusion.
I'm really interested to hear who made these instruments and some history,
since I never heard about them before and I'm usually very familiar to most
types of clarinets that ever existed. Maybe I just never paid attention
since I always thought that the only point making a clarinet to low Eb was
to be able to transpose A-clarinet parts on it.
