During 1971 and 1972 I was a post graduate pupil at the RAM. I studied with
Alan Hacker (RAM) and Jack Brymer (IND).

In regard to Kell the information is correct-Hacker was his pupil at the RAM.
If you check recent bio info on Kell you will find he was born in
Yorkminster and died in Kentucky in 1981. There are quite a few stories
about students trying to contact him here. He and his wife Dorothy bought
their home in Frankfort from a former DMA student of mine.

Michael Bryant who has an incredible knowledge of things of the clarinet and
it's players-has made a mistake of a decade. Bernard Walton died in early
1972. I remember Brymer doing a memorial BBC broadcast a few months after
Walton's passing.

Walton performed on a very well worn set of Schmidt-Kolbe reform Boehm
clarinets. They had to be modified for his LH thumb in order to allow the Bb
throat mechanism to work. He had Herbert Wurlitzer duplicate this set.
According to Steve Trier (LPO) all the faults were duplicated as well.

Professor Williams (QCM) contact me at my e-mail and I will supply other
details if you so desire.
