Re: pan-american clarinet information

Well, curioser and curioser. I hadn't inspected that wildly wood-grained Pan Am at the Georgetown Flea Market closely until today, because the price was too far out of line for me to bother. I did closely inspect a "propeller wood" Pan Am at the Bethesda Farmer's Market flea a couple of years ago and carried away the impression it was made of wood; therefore I assumed those clarinets were always wood. Today I took a good, close look at the tenon ends, the tone holes and as far as I could see into the inside of the one at Georgetown. It's plastic. No doubt about it. It had me fooled. Well, that explains why it didn't de-laminate after being displayed outdoors many Sundays in all types of weather.... Dee, I agree with you about those key touches. They're large and they feel clumsy.
