They claim: ". . .the clarinet recreated to perform the Mozart clarinet
concerto and quintet the way it was written and initially performed." Ooo,
if they only knew what a debate _that_ claim would initiate.
It seems to have a fitting for a peg on the bell. Is that standard? Or is
the fitting for a lyre to use when doing the Mozart in marching band?
