Re: pan-american clarinet information

A dealer at the Georgetown Flea Market in Washington, D. C. (Sundays, across Wisconsin Ave. from the "social Safeway," if anyone's interested) has been trying to sell a "propeller wood" Pan American for two years now. He started out asking $120. It didn't sell for about four months at that price. Then somebody convinced him the instrument is rare and collectible, so he raised the price to $350.

The fact that it's just been sitting there all this time should have told him something else by now. I don't try to argue with people who think they've got gold when I think they've got coal; he'd probably just get mad--but I think the only person collecting that clarinet is him.

Ken, are you sure that the surface is always plastic laminate? I could swear that the Georgetown Pan American is laminated with wood. Then again, I'm looking at it with 57-year-old eyes.
