 Antique Three Clarinet Case
Author: Mel Lazin 
Date:   2008-10-27 21:06

I have a long unibody clarinet case which appears to hold three unibody clarinets but only one bell which is shared.

It also holds a flute.

Has anyone seen a set of clarinets that share a single bell?

Does it appear that the clarinets would be in different keys (length, etc). Interestingly, and somewhat related, Tom Ridenour made a stop at my old school here in Madison many years ago enroute to the Edgewater Hotel where a world class clarinetist [name purposely witheld] was to select his new Leblanc Concerto Bb. At my school, he met with John Winslow to try out some of his ligatures, but what I have always remembered was that he had a large case holding 8 fully assembled Bb clarinets all ready for audition. First--and last--time I've ever seen that kind of case. As you can imagine, it was quite wide (and heavy) with no room for those many accessories we all love to carry. Just had to throw that in here.........................

Thanks for the great story! I would be afraid to have that much "money" in one case.

Although it is hard to guess this, I believe from the look of the case that it was designed for a Bb Clarinet, and an A Clarinet, and a C Clarinet, as well as for a standard size flute.

What is curious is that they shared the same bell.

Thanks again William.
