Please help!
I am recreating a picture of my 75 yr-old father in law at age 10 and need a scaled down, 12" model of a clarinet by Christmas to finish the gift. I've looked everywhere and can't find a thing. I will pay shipping for overnight if anyone can help me find a 12" clarinet to go with this MYTwinn doll I've had made!
Thanks for your time! 8~)

If money is no object, Leblanc offers an A-flat clarinet (a *real* one) which is 14" long. You might be able to find a used one, but it wouldn't be easy. These are scarce. Non-functional models, though, sorry... I can't help.

Considering the time frame here, Dora, your best bet is to 'wing it' and realize we can't be choosey. Try substituting a recorder or Flutophone. They look enough like a clarinet... well, you know Flash your Artistic License and tell 'em Ronnie sent ya! Merry Christmas!

Well,
I'm afraid it would last too long tho get the <a href=http://www.guntramwolf.de/instruments/forchildren/clarinet/index_clarinet_child_e.htm>Kinderklarinette C1</a> made by <a href=http://www.guntramwolf.de>Guntram Wolf, Kronach, Germany</a>, a 14.5 inch instrument in G with 3 keys (a lot cheaper than the professional Ab instruments). It's a nice instrument for back pack tours (where every saved pound counts).
A fingering chart is shown at the <a href=http://www.wfg.sneezy.org>Woodwind Fingering Giude</a>.
Merry Christmas,
Arnold (the basset hornist)
