Re: Tuba Skinny Clarinet / Rotated Bell

On Second thought....

I researched this idea of a "Saxonette" or "Clariphone" a number of years ago, but can't remember my findings (and can't find my notes).

However, your post got me to thinking...I did find some photos of the bells inscribed as "Saxonette" - but I'm curious whether the clarinet bodies were any different than a normal clarinet, or whether marketers just wanted to tap into the Saxophone craze, and created metal barrels and bells to sell with a standard clarinet in order to cash in on the fad...rebranding it as a Saxonette?

Hopefully someone here has some personal experience with "Saxonettes" and might address these questions.

Warmest Regards,
Fuzzy
