Ab sopranino clarinet

Ever since I read an earlier posting on repertoire (if any) for the Ab sopranino, I've been trying to find this website--it belongs to one of the first-call LA reed players, Marty Krystal (if it has a reed, he's a whiz at it) and it has pix & discussion about his Ab sopranino (and how film composer Michael Kamen heard Marty had one, and went & wrote a diabolically difficult lick for him to play on the Ab in the scoring sessions for "101 Dalmatians").
Well, I found it: www.k2b2.com.martyinstr.html (or just go to the www.k2b2.com website & click on Marty Krystal). It's fun reading, so enjoy.
Also, I want to recommend a fascinating article on the "Top 10 Woodwind Doublers in Los Angeles" in Windplayer magazine, issue # 62 (available as a back issue, hopefully). Anybody on this board who's a gearhead (and aren't we all?) would get a kick out of the players' instrument & mouthpiece preferences.

happy woodwinding, all!
Doug
