Turkish clarinet is in G, because they can "bend" the notes easier  (not

I recently ordered a 7-string guitar (for jazz) and received a band
catalogue
along with it. Checking out the current state of the band world (my kid was
a
marching trumpet for Michigan State University band), i noticed that
clarinets come is
Bb nickel
Bb wood
A
C
all priced at $1,000 (after the discount)

sure glad I collect harps ( collect more than I play these days)
