 Re: Ab Piccolo (sopranino) clarinet

I have largish hands with medium width fingers. Over the years, I've unsuccessfully tried to play several Ab clarinets -- a Leblanc, a Ponte and a no-name simple system.

The Ponte was made for Charlie Ponte, who had a wonderful music store in NYC on "music row" -- 46th Street between 6th and 7th Avenue. See http://www.woodwind.org/Databases/Logs/1999/01/000696.txt . He finagled the concession to supply all the woodwind instruments for the band for the New York World's Fair and had an Italian company -- probably Orsi -- make stencils in all sizes with his name on them. After the fair closed, he sold them off in his store for $100 each. I desperately wanted to buy the Ab, but I just couldn't get my fingers on it, even after 15 minutes of trying.

So -- be sure to try it before you lay out your money.

Best regards.
