In a previous thread on metal clarinets, I wrote that after H. N. White's widow sold the company, the new owner began using Cleveland as a model name, even though previously it had been a separate brand name, for student instruments, without the H. N. White logo on it. I've just been looking at my old catalogue No. 55, that's probably from the 1953-55. It's undated, but there's some internal evidence, including a 1953 date on a reproduction of a warranty used as an illustration. H. N. White had died by then, but his widow still owned the company. There's a picture of her in the introduction at the beginning of the catalogue. The catalogue includes "Cleveland" student models. So I was wrong about that change happening *after* she sold the company. Evidently the "Cleveland" models were folded into the White brand name sometime during the period after he died but before she sold out. Sorry about posting the error!

No apology needed, Lelia, your research is great, and the White history is available to all. Don

It would be great to have someone compile all these little tid bits of verified info into a collume for as many models as posible. As time goes by, more and more info is lost for various reasons.
