 Re: how/where did you acquire your first clarinet

Summer of 1949 entering 4th grade, joined beggining band classes in Wyocena, WI playing on a metal clarinet rented from Beihoff Music of Milwaukee, WI. After one year of lessons, my Dad bought it for me for somewhere over $100. Beihoff would not give us credit for the rent paid and demanded the "new" price even though the clarinet was clearly used. Beginning band lessons ended at the end of 6th grade when the band director left for a better job in Milwaukee and I didn't restart playing until high school two years later. Frank Potter of Madison, Wi's Ward Brodt Music store was kind enough to give us $100 "trade in" toward a brand new Bundy Resonite clarinet "just like Benny Goodman played in the movie, "The Benny Goodman Story" (which was just out in the theatres). Three years later, we traded for a Selmer "Centered Tone" ALL WOOD CLARINET. After that, in college I went to a Selmer 9* which later was traded for a set of Buffet R13s, which I still have btw. I'm now playing on a set of LeBlanc Concertos, but it all started back in 1949 with that old metal clarinet in the musty case that Beifhoff salesman overcharged my Dad for. And I've never forgotten that...............
