Unless they're "air guitars" you're posting in the wrong place! There's got to be guitar BBoards somewhere that can help; a clarinet BBoard is a real stretch.
If you know the answer - please contact this person directly, not via the BBoard.

Django's selmer and macafferi instruments are enjoying a renaissance....several contemporary builders make repros...check www.elderly.com and www.mandoweb.com...as to plans, I'm not sure if they are readily available...the guild of american luthiers has a web site that has references to plans of all sorts of 20th century fretted instruments...another place to pose this question is at www.mugwumps.com...mike holmes is very knowledgeable about vintage instruments....
I think it may be interesting to clarinettists that the selmer paris name is very respected in the guitar world as well as the clarinet and saxophone world for innovative design and high quality instruments...

And let's not forget guitarist Django Reinhardt's famous association with reedmen Coleman Hawkins (Tenor Sax) and Benny Carter (alto, clarinet and trumpet) in the 1930s (not to mention Alix Combelle).

You ommitted that wonderful French clarinettist in the Hot Club -- Hubert Rostaing if my memory serves me right.
