I'm curious about what's happening with them too. I don't think they're selling that many. They might be a great instrument but their appearance is quite ugly; what with the thimble thread barrel and muti-colored bell etc. The inflated price is not pretty either.

It's completely subjective but all the stuff about the different wood grain etc. barrels and bells is just that subjective. All these colored barrels and bells with their lovely grains etc. are the placebos of the clarinet world.

Still placebos have their use...if merely adding a new bell makes you think you've become the reincarnation of Ralph McLane, well that's OK.
Sometimes after a couple of drinks I think I'm sounding like Ralph McLane!
