Re: Horst Moennig Bass Clarinet

I'm curious, does this instrument say Los Angeles mixed in with the Horst Moennig? David, did yours?
I stumbled onto a Horst (Los Angeles) Moennig bassoon a few years ago and I have been told that it is surprisingly bad, compared to others he made. I know that he spent some years in Los Angeles both making his own instruments and importing instruments from his brothers in East Germany. That's why I ask my question. Perhaps the ones he made, in LA, particularly in small quantities like bass clarinets and bassoons, are particularly uneven in quality, thus explaining David's experience.
