I've been wondering how much faith we can put in the claims made by some of the ads placed here by manufacturers.
For example Peter Eaton states 'each clarinet is hand made in England by our small team of craftsmen.....'
I understood that some of the bodies he uses are made by Tony Ward in Australia. I also believe that when his supply of keywork from Boosey & Hawkes runs out he may have them cast in the far east.
His claim that 'a unique type of pad has been developed, which is unique to Peter Eaton clarinets' cannot be trusted by those of us who have had those pads fitted by the person who developed them.
I suppose we should learn to take all such claims with a pinch of salt.
