 Re: Woody Herman as a jazz clarinetist

In some photos from the 1940s, Herman is holding a Selmer clarinet. The Smithsonian has a Leblanc clarinet they say was "associated with Woody Herman" and "made in the 1950s" that bears Herman's name on the bell. In 1976, Leblanc ran a nationwide ad thanking Herman for making "the Leblanc clarinet and Vito soprano sax a part of your life on the road with the herd." I've never seen anything about which models he preferred or which he used on any individual recordings. He had a very long career and probably switched models as time passed. His early influences were pretty clearly Jimmy Noone and Barney Bigard.
