I have an old P M Bb Full Boehm of the 1920's, still a fine player, my first good cl. It was somewhat flat above top-of-staff G in my early playing, I've somewhat cured that recently by barrel [and mp] experimentation. When needed for its left hand lever Ab/Eb, only my Selmer R I F B [1932] [besides my Sel Bass cl} has it also, and that horn just is not as good !! A Tulsa Band friend has a ?50's? P M Bb 17/6 which he prefers [possibly inheriting a Sel 10G, may make him change !!]. Dont know of their Eb's, but IMHO they were one of the best US makers in their time period. They used several model names in their last years, others please help. Don
Thanx, Mark, Don

P-M models I've seen include: "Artist Model", "Brilliante", "Empire Model", maybe one or two others I can't remember at the moment. Nice clarinets all.
