Interesting subject, Hank. The doubling gigs I typically play don't provide the kind of income that would be required to own and maintain modern professional level instruments. Fortunately, I have found wonderful vintage instruments at much more reasonable cost that, when well set up, perform quite well.

Vintage instruments far outnumber modern:

Yamaha 451 flute from the 80's
Vito/Yanagisawa soprano sax from 1977
Conn 6m alto sax from 1938
Couf Superba 1/Keilwerth tenor sax from the 70's
Weltklang baritone sax from the 80's
Noblet Artist Eb clarinet from the 70's
Noblet Artist C clarinet from the 80's
Buffet R13 A clarinet from 1969
Selmer Model 30 bass clarinet from 1974 (Though modified and extended to low C by Stephen Fox.)
Howarth S2 oboe from 1970
Howarth cor anglais from 1949

Modern instruments:

Peter Eaton International Bb clarinet
Pearl 105 piccolo
