Nancy,
There's also an EarlyClarinet List at Yahoo groups. There is some
overlap of members with Klarinet but there are some members who are
there but not here. If you join you should also have access to their
archives. Topics range from reference books and instrument
identification/maker information to playing, conservation and repair
issues on instruments ranging from chalumeau to metal instruments with
everything in between. Al Rice is among the very helpful and
knowledgeable members who I'm pretty sure isn't also on Klarinet.
Take Care,
Anne
