Re: Martin Freres (Paris) E-flat clarinet

Thank you for your reply...yes, I was referring to posts from yourself and one other owner of these instruments.

It's good to know that the intonation on yours was manageable, and that the ergonomics fit your hands well.

Were there any issues with keywork construction, such as soft metal, plating flaking off, pitting, or porous areas? Martin Freres advertising from the '50s and '60s indicates that their B-flats were built with forged keys. I hope that the E-flats are similarly equipped.

What mouthpiece, reed, and ligature setup did you end up going with?

I am planning on getting the Fobes extension.
