i have 4 or 6 unfaced new ones also. the finished ones i have play so well i dont see how the blank ones can measure up unless a true master works on them

the mazzeo mechanism is located into the jump / trill keys

dave i bet you would love the new rovner star model. its desighned to be used inverted or not. plus it only 25$

hey thats a plan -will get on it

i will have to try to post pic but i am not good at this kind of stuff. yes i agree the normandy is prob the best plateau . i hope to have my second one restored over this winter. going to do it my self. my normandy out plays the martin ferris.

it allows you to play between A and or Bb and b natural with out crossing the break and offers various alt fingerings

i do nt know why this link dosnt work. it works from where i copied it from  https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%BCstophon    ok it works now

i have read every post on this board over the past few days and havny seen this brand mentioned. its a german company with roots to basson making but made fantastic clarinets. i am lucky enough to own one and can attest its near the top as the finest i ever played. no need for a pic as it looks like every non discript wood clarinet ever made . no frills or unique keys etc. its simply amazing to play. aas good as any r13 i have played and better than the one i own very little info on the net but there is a wiki https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Püstophon. i would mine on a clearance table at a pawn shop for 10$
