Hi Chris,
A belated reply to your post of 31st August. Yes, my Louis clarinets are indeed inscribed "Approved by Chas Draper". I believe that it was he who finally overcame the reluctance of many English players to abandon the simple system and adopt the Boehm.
Just to put the record straight, whoever Geoffrey Acton was referring to back in the l970s as an orchestral clarinettist who had only recently ceased to play Louis instruments, it was not necessarily the principal in the ENO. I just recall that it was an orchestra of national standing: wish I could remember which orchestra it was.
Sorry I will not be able to see you in London. I have always found your contributions to the Bboard interesting.
