Sounds of Woodwinds (Hancock, Mass.) advertised a used Penzel-Mueller "Clarimet", a metal double walled clarinet, for $650.00 back in the early 1980's. They had many used Buffets and Selmers plus obscure antique clarinets also listed, some quite expensive, and apparently were knowledgeable dealers in instruments (perhaps still are). They said, "...unlike the Haynes metal clarinet this one plays in tune, beautiful." Although this may be a little advertising hyperbole, the price seem to indicate that Penzel-Mueller was capable of making a good clarinet.
