Does anyone know anything about the make of my c clarinet? The brand is Henri Alexandre, Paris France, and I suspect it has something to do with Selmer. I think it plays well, and my teacher, Howie Leess as well as my repair guy tell me it's not a bad horn, but a retailer in Witchita suggested I use it for a doorstop. I use the horn for playing from c charts and it is a lot of fun. However, all the pieces I have memorized are in b-flat which I play on my r-13. At least I can delve into the complete klezmer and Klez plus books without having to transpose.

Sounds like it might have something to do with Selmer. Check out the Selmer USA website they have a history of H & A Selmer incorporating their relationship to Henri Selmer Paris who also have a history on their website although it is a little unreliable and may be in French or German. The H & A thing sounds like it may have been a Selmer USA clarinet made in France for sale in the USA. Just a theory!
