Bill,

I tried one of these out at Lark in the Morning in Mendocino a few years
ago. The sound was interesting but the stretch for the third finger of the
left hand was extremely painful. If you have large hands you would
probably be ok, but otherwise I would suggest you try one first.

[Mark C: Shouldn't Lark in the Morning be listed in the retail section of
the Clarinet Pages?]
