Subj: [kl] Plateau Clarinet (Was Mary Kantor)

Leblanc offers a full plateau (covered) system clarinet in the form of the
Vito Model 7214P See: http://www.gleblanc.com/pdf/catpages/pdf/vit-Bb.pdf

My wife is suffering from some arthritis in her right hand, making the
covering of the three ring keys difficult. The Vito is, I know, a plastic
student line horn, but it would keep her playing for many years more.
Anyone else know of other plateau clarinets? Wichita Band offer repair
services for plateaus, so there most be some out there.
