Exactly: I am trying to buy two. Alistair is/has been away on business so I didn't
get very far yet. I tried his student model clarinet in Frankfurt at the Musikmesse
(13-17 March) and it was superb. The tone was different than Buffet or Yamaha. He
said he chose a wider bore for more easy blowing. Hope to get the instruments soon.

Someone from the list bought a clarinet from him. It must've been a three or four
months ago.....
