Subj: [kl] Jazz instrument auction
Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2005 17:02:52 -0500

This may have been discussed and I missed it, but I learned yesterday
that Guernsey's will be auctioning a substantial number of instruments
and other memorabilia from jazz greats. Among the items listed on the
web site (http://www.guernseys.com/) are three saxes and some sheet
music from John Coltrane, two baritone saxes owned by Gerry Mulligan, a
King Super 20 alto made specifically for Charlie Parker, and a Selmer
from Benny Goodman.

The Goodman clarinet is described thusly:
"Benny Goodman's Selmer clarinet with case, pitched in Bb, series 10G,
serial #Y2830, manufactured in 1974. The clarinet is in its original
Selmer case. The following three boxes of reeds are in the case: an
unopened box of #2 medium soft Bb clarinet reeds, a full box of Roy
Maier strength no.2 1/2 reeds, and a Selmer Soloist box of assorted
#2,#2 1/2, and #3 reeds."

While it wouldn't be the same as buying one of Dan's horns, still makes
me wish I had some disposable bucks...
