Is this a follow-on from Sarah Hardacker-Ellul's (Meridian Winds) Facebook post?
That was my Ab in the posting, it took me over a decade to find that instrument, and it was a matter of pure luck at that.
Happy Hunting.

It was pure luck.
I was invited to play in an avante-garde band last year, and a bandmate got the Ab clarinet as part of an estate.
But also, and this really shocked me, is that during Covid, he bought a John Challis harpsichord from a local university for $100, then sold it for $1000. He made money, and the guy who got it bought an amazing instrument for next to nothing. Still, I can't quantify how sad / angry / frustrated / shocked this makes me.
