Seidel Clarinets

Hi there..I was wondering if anyone out there has heard of an extinct brand of clarinets called Seidel(I may have the spelling wrong). My late good friend and great trumpet player Bill Adcock's father was a clarinet player back in the day and he had a matched set that belonged to his teacher Adolph Finkelstein(actually a pretty famous player back in his day). I remember his father said they were better than Buffet clarinets. Any way, any info would be very interesting to hear..cheers.

Langwills mentions several Seidl's or Seidels, but I suspect the one you're referring to is:
Seidel Band Instrument Co.
Established by William F Seidel in 1914 at Elkhorn and sold to E.A. Couturier in 1918. Seidel did his apprenticeship at Markneukirchen and later worked in London. Conn persuaded him to work in Elkhart in 1881. In 1914 he established his own company.
