Fernando,

Patricola Bros. advertises their clarinets as made from select Brazilian=20
rosewood aged for 13 years. I will certainly write and ask exactly what=20
they mean. But no matter where it comes from it is gorgeous and well=20
seasoned. I have had less trouble with these clarinets than with my Buffet=
=20
grenadillas and they are old. The Patricolas are new. I have never had=20
so much as a loose ring on my Patricolas and where I live it certainly=20
would be expected to have at least that annoyance. Thanks.

Nancy
