It's a Hanson LX, handmade in Marsden, Yorkshire, UK by Alaister Hanson and his team, who have won awards for sustainable wood clarinets. The LX is their top-of-the-range instrument, I also have the Hanson LX tenor.

It was especially engraved with my father's birth and death dates, as I bought it with money he left me. So to say it's special, is an understatement.

I will certainly try - although some head-scratching may be involved and thanks again for offering. smile
