Post-1963 Buescher clarinets are Bundy/Selmer clarinets with slightly
different trill keys -- stencil jobs, in essence, but the Buescher name by
then had been bought by Selmer. Harry Pedler made strictly student-grade
instruments, not worth much today. Kohlert is European (German? Czech?).
I don't have much info, but I believe SOME of their stuff is decent.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
