I e-mailed Graham Lyons about the price of the Lyons C Clarinet:

> Mr. Lyons -

> David Blumberg mentioned on the Clarinet bulletin board
> that you wereoffering a special price on the Lyons C
> Clarinet of $160 (plus $20 shipping)to members
> of the International Clarinet Association (compared
> with an advertised price of $240 in the most recent
> issue of Clarinet Magazine).

> Is the $160 offer still open? If so, I would like
> to buy one. Please let me know.

> Ken Shaw

He wrote back as follows:

> Not quite right! The special offer price is $170
> on the advertisement and shipping is $25. I'm not
> sure where David Blumberg got his figures from
> but I was too tired to put him right at the time!
> The only other thing I should mention is that price
> is really �121, which was the sterling equivalent
> of $195 when I placed the advertisement. Thus the
> amount appearing on a credit card statement may be
> slightly more or less than $195 depending on the
> British pound - US $ exhange rate at the date the
> customer orders one.

> The offer is only open to ICA members and for one
> clarinet only per member. If you would like to buy
> one at the price above please let me have your ICA

> I accept Visa and Mastercard.

I just checked the dollar equivalent of 121 British pounds on two websites, and it is $196 from Cooks (http://www.thomascook.com/cgi-bin/xchg011_calculator.pl) and $199.98 from Universal Currency Converter (http://www.xe.net/ucc/).

Still not a bad price.
