Interesting. I have a mid 20's Carl Fischer catalog that advertised such a creature. They called it a jazz clarinet. I've been wondering if any survived.

You're correct, Dee. Looks to be in pretty good shape too.
Well, Mark, at least we know that one of the creatures survived
A 'jazz' clarinet? well... okay :]

TKS for pointing it out, Dee. A ?nice? old plateau ?simple-Albert-Muller?. I had thot that LeBlanc made the first plateau sopranos. Hope one of our "group" will buy it and report!! Don

The Fischer catalog was pitching these clarinets for saxophone players to use when they doubled because they didn't need to worry about covering the open holes with their fingers and key layout was "more like" a saxophone. I'll have to dig it out and report on exact wording and price in 1925.
