Eskil --

My King Lemaire has also arrived. It is not in playable condition -- except for the open notes, and the lower altissimo. But from that small sample, I really do like the sound. It is quite a bit like what you are describing -- a sweet, fresh, centered sound.

The keywork is good and the plating is shiny, even -- but as you mentioned, the rings on the female side of each joint seem not to be made of the same material as the keys. They look like the old pot metal that I have seen on some '50's student clarinets.

I am sending this clarinet out for restoration, and I do have high hopes that it will be a "player".

To be continued . . .

Susan
