Re: Stubbins clarinet

My recollection of it was that it was offered both as a Vito plastic clarinet with what they called the Stubbins mechanism and also a Normandy wooden clarinet, again with the Stubbins mechanism. These were optional models under both lines and both were manufactured by the LeBlanc Company. William Stubbins taught for many years at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and wrote a book called "The Art of Clarinetistry." I am doing this off of the top of my head without really doing any research first, but I believe this to be correct. The idea of the extra mechanism was to provide an additional and larger vent hole to help the throat tone Bb. Not sure of the value, but the wooden model would certainly command a higher price than the plastic one. Hope this helps a little bit. Perhaps others will contribute additional information!
