Hello Ruben,
Chris P., above, perfectly summarized the difference between the Elite and International. The Elite was Peter Eaton's improvement of the B&H 1010. The International model, somewhat inspired by Martel instruments, followed to allow the use of "French type" smaller bore mouthpieces.
And Chris is correct in that Peter is no longer producing clarinets. He is doing more mouthpiece work again, making Eb and bass mouthpieces along with Bb mouthpieces. Mouthpiece making has been a passion for him since the 70's.
It has been a couple years already since I have been in touch with Peter, but at that time he was hoping the right person would come along to pick up production of the clarinets.
John
