Re: Pedler clarinets

I have a Pedler I played all through high school and even a year of college. I was always told they were "hand made" in Elkhart, Indiana. Quirky is how I would describe it. Generally very short barrel (I was always sharp!) and not the best intonation. But very nice tone - dark and full and sultry.

I like Bob Draznik's saying "They are the Studebakers of the clarinet world".

Interestingly enough the Studebaker was made in South Bend Indiana, about 15 miles from Elkhart.
