I cant tell you when they went out of business but Martin Freres came up with some interesting designs. Some hard rubber or plastic clarintes have an upper joint which is sleeved internally with metal for some reason. The weigh a ton and are not particularly brillinat instruments. There are other variants such as sleeved tuning barrells on some of the wooden instruments. Their flutes have an internally sleeved foot joint instead of the standard tenon fitting and again are very heavy. We see a lot of these horns appearing with Russian immigrants so they obviously did a lot of business there.
