Val P. Henrich (Valentine Peter Henrich, aka Tiny) was born in 1890 in Pennsylvania. His parents were from Germany. I do not know much about his education on clarinet, but know that Hasty studied with him as a youngster, traveling by train from his home in Kansas to Denver. David Etheridge also studied with Tiny during high school, as did I, but for a shorter period. Tiny had a beautiful tone quality with a special "ping" to his tonguing sound, something David Etheridge managed to maintain. Henrich died in 1980.
