Mr Martin you are right there I think.As I have already said,I played the Violin for 20years or more and the E,FLAT Clarinet and they do not come any smaller than that,but now with the way my hands have turnout,they would cover all the holes at the same time,it was great playing the E flat in the band you got all the high and solo parts,but the bass is good but most of the time it is plucking away in the back ground with the drum bashing in your ears,and with the size ears I have also, that would not be a good move,then there is the carrying of it,can not get it in the car
or on a bus.To much for a man of my age.
