I have an older wood clarinet with a "Jules Vanna" trademark, made in France and under that, "by A. Lambert". The bottom keywork is not what I usually see. There are four holes, three open (on the right) and one closed (on the left). The low F key closes the first two of the open holes. F# closes those two but opens the one on the left. I assume this arrangement was supposed to improve intonation. I also assume, given that this is the only one I've seen, that it never caught on.
However, I'm curious about the origins of the instrument. Is there any information available about the clarinet, about Jules Vanna, about A. Lambert.
Thanks
Don Crawford
