 Re: Berkeley brand clarinets?

Before sending the Berkeley A back, I did consider sending it to David Spiegelthal here to see what he could do with it. There really was a lot to like about the Berkeley A. I forgot to mention above that it was delightfully free-blowing and had cannon-like projection--totally unexpected in a bargain-basement A. But, adding the cost of tweaking, shipping, and a good double case to the purchase price of the Berkeley, I would probably have invested more than I would have in a decent off-brand French A in wood. So, back it went to the seller.

BTW, my Boosey & Hawkes 8-10 from Dave has his signature bell vent modification and it does indeed help with the tuning on low E and F. If only I could get a matching 8-10 in A...

Regards, GJG
