1. I've been offlist for several months so I might have missed that
discussion. Anyway...

2. Sound like? I would expect it to sound like a tire with holes and
keywork, what else?:-)

3. Seriously, about six+ months ago someone had TWO hard-rubber Albert
system clarinets up for bid. They both went but for absurdly low
prices. The seller used all the right keywords: klezmer, Greek,
Macedonian. Unless he planned to get screwed, he really got screwed.
Me, I got in too late for too little, so I wasn't one of the lucky buyers.
