Re: Linton Contrabass clarinet?

Correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding is that Linton's clarinets all were stencil instruments. At least some of their basses were made by Malerne. I have a plastic Linton alto; I don't know who actually made it. As for the contrabass, I've seen one or two on eB*y and have never seen another like it. Though apparently Buffet once made (or marketed) a metal contrabass. The Malerne basses and my alto both are Boehm, but I notice the contrabass seems to be Albert?

These days Linton makes (or markets) only double reed instruments.
