RE: Patricola clarinets

I don't particularly care for their Bb and A clarinets, they have all either been bright or stuffy. They have a very nice sound and a good solid feel, it's just that they don't really work comparing to what most American clarinetists play. It would be pretty hard to blend with a Buffet (which is what a majority of pros use. I haven't heard the new C clarinet or had a chance to try it. I hope they'll have a booth either at TMEA in 2000 or i will try them at the ClarFest in OK next year.
I drool over their Eb clarinets every time i see one. I try them out at every convention where there's a booth that has them. They have the best projection of any Eb i've played and the sweetest sound. I anxiously await the time when i'll have $2000 and can have Stephen Fox make a Patricola Eb clone with a few tuning adjustments.
