Can I ask what the serial number is on your Bundy eefer? I'm trying to find=

how old mine is (serial 3,xxx). I actually really like my little shrub (wil=

1mm-2mm (40mm Scott barrel), the intonation is great (and so are the 12ths).

principal oboist looked behind her to our section and said that we had a =

stand. So, they're all next to each other. He had his A and Bb, and I had m=

Bb, and Eb.

** Another random comment: My clarinets are all named. The eefer is Stubby =
