BP clarinets available

I just spotted this news on Stephen Fox's web site; see
<http://www.sfoxclarinets.com/BP_sale.htm>: He's now selling
Bohlen-Pierce soprano clarinets. Tenors and contras are still being
developed. Here's the relevant text:

The BP soprano clarinet is the same size as the conventional Bb
clarinet, and is played with the same mouthpiece. The fingering
uses a combination of open finger holes and keywork derived from the
Boehm system (the complete low note mechanism for the little
fingers, plus a throat key for L1 and a register key).

In keeping with the futuristic nature of the BP project, the BP
soprano clarinet is offered in Delrin, a high quality synthetic
material.

Price:
Delrin, silver or nickel plated keys, plain Boehm
Can. $1,500.00
