Re: A-key clarinet list?

I paid $20 for my first A clarinet, about 45 years ago. It was an old Henri Farny, Paris, that I bought from the other clarinet player in my orchestra. I have no idea how old it was or where he got it from, but he didn't want it because it was Boehm system. Since I played Boehm system, he offered it to me. The one redeeming thing about that purchase was that the clarinet came with a nice Portnoy mouthpiece, otherwise, it played so miserably out of tune that I went back to transposing on my Bb. Eventually I gave it away. Saved up and bought a used Buffet. Tuning on the Buffet wasn't great, but manageable.

That clarinet player was a wonderfully kind gentleman and it was always a pleasure playing with him. I miss him. Ruhe in Frieden, Herr Schmidt.
