If you have met and spoken to Stalder, then you would know if it
was him. But if you don't know Rudolf Stalder, it might have
been him. I've met Stalder in the US and his English is very
good. We never spoke German because Mazzeo was there too and did
not have that language.

But if it is not Stalder, I don't who it could have been, though
most German players are well aware of the history of their
instruments and can speak about it very thoroughly.

Stalder was fascinated with Carmel, CA. He had been staying with
Rosario for several days and all he could talk about was the view
and the ambiance. I thought he was going to move there. And
speaking of clarinetists who have moved, when I was in
Bloomington, I met Alfred Prinz there. He is on the faculty, and
he spoke at some length on the quantity of clarinetists being
turned out in the US to far fewer opportunities.

Hi Dan,

It was a man around 60ish. He spoke high German with no accent
that I could discern (although he didn't talk much!) He said he
had many historic instruments but not there with him. At the end,
we had to walk all around the entire baths with our instruments
passing very closely to the entire audience but I didn't
recognize him there anymore.

David
