 Metal Clarinet Chic

Jupiter now is offering a "silver" clarinet -- a plastic clarinet that is silver colored and actually looks like an old double walled clarinet.

I just hope they don't give metal clarinets a bad reputation.

"Retro" is in --- look at automobiles, for example.

Congrats, Brenda! (But having owned three air-cooled rear-engine VWs in the past, I still think they put the engine and driving wheels at the wrong end of the New Beetle!)

(Tangent alert:)

I wish mine had had 80........ Two 1968 Squarebacks and 1983 Vanagon --- 57 and 67 horsepower, respectively. Once I was at a stoplight in my Vanagon, next to a red Corvette. Just before the light turned green, I blipped my throttle, and the guy in the Corvette looked over at me, saw what I was driving, and nearly busted a gut laughing. While he was rolling on the ground I drove away, crushing him in the race to the next stoplight (a parable not unlike that of the Tortoise and the Hare.....)

Nothing to do with clarinets --- I apologize. It's tired and I'm getting late...

I could go on and on about VW beetles and Karmann Ghias....but I won't.
Congrats on your new one granny......I came very very close but thought that it wouldn't make me any younger....or make me look younger. Wonder where my tangerine 72' KG is today.
