Subj: [kl] Ab clarinet experience?
Date: Sun, 8 Aug 2004 12:02:23 -0400

Hi everyone,

I DID in the end track down an Ab...thanks to everyone
who responded with ideas! I have the chance to make
the owner an offer but I think they want $$$ for the
horn. The problem is the intonation is WILD, really
off the scale one note this way, the next that and so
on. Walter Grabner has already given me some great
private advice; my question to the list is: has anyone
played one of these, do they ALL play this crazily or
is that just this particular instrument? It's a
Rampone. I don't want this for a collection but to
actually play. I've tried to check out prices at Orsi
and Ripamonti but Orsi's email is bouncing back and
Rip. has a price-list but I can't actually find the
price amounts!

Any further help much appreciated.

Thanks and hope you're all having a good August,

Peter
