Bill,

What was your source for determining the date of my Albert clarinet.
There seems to be some indications that it might even be of earlier
manufacture as one person told me the Conn factory burned down several
times before 1895 and could be as early as 1888. The person I talked to
said some years ago he talked to several people who claim their fathers
worked in the Conn factory in 1888 and when the building burned all the
records went up in smoke. So, everything from that time is dated 1895,
the first date from which records survived.

Gary
