Hello Morrigan,
It is so cool that you visited with MIss Johnson and that she is now aware of this thread. Thanks for your very thoughtful message.
And yes, I have spoken with Mr. Eaton over the phone (I'm in Pasadena, CA). He was very happy to answer questions and discuss his clarinets. But, alas, they are no longer in production. It seems he may have a very small stock of new Elites, but I could not talk him into selling one. He is saving for his own purposes. I have asked him to let me know if a used one comes to his attention.
Please let Miss Johnson know that I really admire her work very much and am amazed and astonished that she chose to play songs associated with Omer Simeon, Sidney Bechet and Benny Goodman on her latest album!
Oh and let her know that I am taking lessons with Helen Goode, a marvelous teacher that came up with and is a peer of Miss Johnson. So we have that connection.
Jack
