Selmer "Improved" Albert question

Author: Fuzzy

I've seen many Selmer "Improved" Alberts in my life.

However, I've recently seen a batch of photos of George Lewis holding a clarinet (apparently a Selmer Improved) where the mouthpiece appears to be longer than usual, and the junction between mouthpiece and barrel appears to be either tapered or stepped - depending on the angle of the photo (not smooth - not of equal external diameter).

Specifically, these photos appear when I perform a search for George Lewis Barry Martyn.

Here's one such photo: Photo 1
Here's another: Photo 2

Hopefully these links display properly for you.

I'd be interested in thoughts/experience with the setup shown in the photos.

(I'm also guessing that the clarinet in these photos had been banded due to cracks?)

Thanks,
Fuzzy
