alpine clarinet?

When I was in eight grade I remember that I switched back to Bb clarinet (I had been playing the bass clarinet). I had given up on the clarinet because I was so frustrated with it. When eighth grade just started, my band director called me down and asked me if I was going to play clarinet and I told him no. He then asked me if I was willing to play the bass clarinet. I was intrigued by the name "bass clarinet" and figured that it'd be worth a shot to play. After playing for a few months, I started to miss the smaller Bb clarinet and asked to be switched back. I didn't have a clarinet to play, so I was using one of the school clarinets. I remember that the clarinet had the name "Alpine" on it. I loved playing on that clarinet. The sound it made was just.. I can't explain it, but it was wonderful to play on. Before using the school clarinet, I had one of those Selmer student models that you rent. The way I sounded on the Selmer was so different from the way I sounded on the Alpine. I sounded better on the Alpine for some reason. I was wondering if anyone else had heard of Alpine or has any information on Alpine?
