I'm quite sure it was a Buffet, because Walter Boeykens (fantastic clarinet player !!, don't know if he is know out there .) was a Buffet Artist for many years.

I saw the name 'paperclips' on this board, and actually the metal tube that was called 'contra' at that time, looked a bit like a paper clips.

I think total height was relative high (guess 1.60 m) and it ran up an down.
I never saw this metal pipe close enough to give a good description;

The Selmer I did see really close and from what I see on the Selmer site, it still is the same. A 'bass'-clarinet shape, but going up to 180cm or so.

I made myself a promise : if I ever win the lottery I'll buy one (and an alto, and a bassethorn, and a ....), problem is, sofar I'm not playing in the lottery :-)

PS. said the same about a bass clarinet. But 2 years ago just bought one without wining lottery, .. sofar this gave me more pleasure than winning lottery. (Am I a clarinet addict ???)
