 Re: Who has seen an Adolph Sax clarinet?

The Sir Nicholas Shackleton Collection at the University of Edinburgh contains two clarinets made by Sax. One is a fairly conventional-looking simple system, but the other is clearly some sort of experiment that looks like nothing else I've ever seen:

Notice in particular the single ring for the LH and the split ring for the RH middle finger. I haven't played that particular instrument, but the curators are relatively open to having people visit to play items from the collection (they're much less open to having the instruments taken away to be used in concerts, which was the clear intention of Nick's bequest, but that's another story).
