Like I said before, they were good enough for Benny Goodman! If it was a
BUFFET in the same condition, would you consider it to be "out of
touch?" R-13 Bb clarinets routinely pull that kind of price (starting bid,
not "buy it now") on eBay. A C clarinet is worth more due to rarity. I
know they LIST for more new from the manufacturer.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is TOO LOUD!
