Subj: [kl] Recognize these names?

For a short story partially set in the USA in 1916-1917, I need to make sure
that neither of these two names connects in any way with the real world of
clarinet players and manufacturers:

Charles Henredon (clarinet maker and technician)
Arthur Tregallis (principal clarinet in a large orchestra)

I'm writing a slipstream story with a supernatural element and I need to be
sure I'm not inadvertently dragging real clarinet people into it. The names
both seem so familiar to me that I'm afraid my memory may have played a
trick and "borrowed" real people, though the names don't turn up in the
Klarinet list archives except in a brief quotation that I posted (from the
rough draft) last month, before real life rudely interrupted the writing. If
Tregallis and Henredon are or were real, then I figure this crowd should
know, if anybody does!

Google turns up no musicians with those names. I think I've figured out why
"Arthur Tregallis" seems familiar: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle named a character
"Janet Tregallis" in his Sherlock Holmes story, "The Musgrave Ritual." It's
possible the name "Henredon" results from my having seen and forgotten
something about the furniture company (an association with manufacturing).

Thanx for any help!
