Kevin - if you're scraping the bottom of the barrel for stuff to do in Paris,
go to the wonderful!! Music Museum and take a camera with a tripod (no flash
allowed there and very low light levels). All the instruments, including the
clarinets are simply wonderful and as you move from one station to another a
recording begins with musical examples and interesting background. I went
twice last summer for about 2 hours each time and was simply fascinated - I'd
go again in a heartbeat.

Have fun!!
