Re: Eric Pettersen clarinet?

It's always great when people rediscover a more or less unsung clarinet maker of distinction. This one is especially interesting because he shows how deep the desire has been to incorporate elements of the French and German instruments into a single clarinet model.

Do you know if the Petterson instrument you bought has one of his original "Conbrio" mouthpieces? If it does please try to show some photos of it here (along with the clarinet) and let us know how it plays. Does it , for example, require narrow reeds like Vandoren White Master? There is still a lot of interest in putting features of the Boehm and Oehler mouthpieces into a single hybrid, and it should be instructive to see how this designer/maker went about that task.
