Re: Merlin's ax

This sounds like bragging but Merlin Shepherd once showed me his clarinet. It 
is indeed an Albert C and a thing of great beauty. Keys shaped like drops of 
mercury. 

I've spent a while looking at the picture of Naftuli Brandwein and wondered 
what instrument he's playing. It doesn't look like an Albert system - at 
least not like the one Andy Statman uses in his video - because it doesn't 
appear to have the loopy A button at the top. I'm very likely to be wrong 
about that. Surely it's a B flat - but could it be Boehme?
