Thanks guys!
Ray - I can't speak for all simple systems of course, but the ones I collect usually have comparible 65-67mm barrels (for Bb instruments). I've seen pictures of the shorter-barreled models, but I'm thinking they might be a bit older design than what I have...maybe more into the 19th century? (Now I'm curious!) ;^)>>>
Karl - thanks for the idea of comparing joint to joint. Oddly, the lower joints are nearly identical, but the upper joint of the mystery clarinet is about 1/4" longer than the upper joint of my Bb. Oddly enough, the right-hand fingers feel CLOSER together than on my Bb's of (what I'm guessing to be) the same era.
Just curious, with modern clarinets - what is a usual length difference between Bb and A clarinets?
