Neil,

Paul Meyer comes from the Mulhouse area and plays Buffet. I can ask my
colleage Alain who plays in the Mulhouse orchestra which model if you are
interested. I know that they know each other well. I once heard Meyer play
the Mozart concerto in Mulhouse. Afterwords it turned out that he'd played it
on Alain's clarinet as his was not in order.

Which concerto did he play by the way? I know of two, one in Bb, one in C.

David
