Re: Who made this Bundy Clarinet?

I've never seen these early (and French) Bundys before, only read about them on here.

Has this one got the forked Bb mechanism (with a ring for LH 3)? You mentioned there's a small pad cup between the C and D.

This is pretty useful as it allows Eb and Bb to be played as xox|ooo (the small pad cup is raised to bring the Eb and Bb up to pitch while LH 3 is down), so C-Eb is played by just lifting LH 2 instead of the side Eb/Bb key which makes getting around some passages easier, eg. the clarinet solo in 'Dance of the Polovtsian Maidens' where the Bb can be taken as xox|ooo.

Can you post some photos of it?
