Hi Ruben--
thanks for the post. I'm learning a lot from the responses, too; the Selmer CT seems to have a big constituency here, larger than I might have thought. Also, I've tended to shy away from instruments with intonation issues but MarlboroughMan's post has me rethinking that a bit.
I've been to the JL website and it's fascinating--you seem to be producing instruments in a modestly sized yet economically viable production setup, which is remarkable these days.
You mentioned Robert and Marigaux and some Italian makers, but a fair number of those manufacturers didn't import into the US so they'd be unlikely to have a fan base here, the way the CT does. You seem to indicate that it would be politically impossible to do an exact replica of the CT; too bad, especially if nothing Selmer currently manufacture is at all similar to the CT (in which case my question would be, what's the harm?).
My personal interest might be in an improved Boosey 926 or 1010, possibly with the Acton vent, because it exemplifies the "English sound" and would be an interesting addition to a player's bag of tricks--and, especially if Eaton stops producing instruments, it might (MIGHT) even sell. Also, I wonder if anyone would be interested in a novelty item like a "Johnny Dodds" (for instance) horn--something unique, tied to a unique player, patterned identically to the instrument he played, that would give a clarinetist a distinctly different voice.
(I'm unable to think of another major jazz OR classical player who was associated with a horn not produced by Selmer or Buffet; Pete Fountain and Buddy DeFranco were both Leblanc endorsers; who else is there?)
Anyway, good luck and please post further steps taken!
