 Re: Why We Restore Old Clarinets ...

Absolutely true. I tried for years to convince folks to support current large bore makers, and even worked for one...but even then the sound concept was only an approximation. For me at least, it's specifically the old Selmer concept that is knit into the fabric of jazz clarinet history.

Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Barney Bigard, Johnny Dodds, Albert Nicholas, and countless others played Selmer large bores.

You can, of course, play any clarinet and it can work as a 'jazz' clarinet. But for those of us who love that earlier concept, there is simply no substitute for the real thing.

It's also pretty rare to find a tech who really cares about the old instruments. I'm very grateful to have known at least a couple who care about and know the fascinating history of these horns.

Eric
