My understanding about McGinnis is that he was a Bonade student and was principal clarinetist of the New York Philharmonic. He preceded Stanley Drucker at NY; whether he was influential in hiring Drucker I do not know, but, I believe, Drucker was hired by the Philharmonic during McGinnis's tenure. According to a Carl Fischer/Buffet publication in the early 1960's, he (and the other clarinetists) played Buffet. He is said to have used a George Jenny mouthpiece with a #5 reed.
