Dear   Tito:

Early on, Davern played an Albert System clarinet and  sounded  very  
much like a New Orleans player. He learned to  play with an  Albert when  
in grammar school. He later switched  to Boehm, but  played both systems  
for a while. First time I  saw him, he was about  15 and playing an   
Albert.

Steve,
Are  you sure he didn't learn on the Boehm first THEN during his 
"revivalist  
period" (he
used to call it) switched to Albert for five or so years  THEN went back to 
 
Albert.
Better ask his biographer Ed  Meyer.     
I think he sold his Alberts to Evan Christopher,  you could ask him, as  
well.

.......CORRECTION:  I should have said that KD eventually after  fooling 
with Albert System
for awhile THEN went back to Boehm (sp?)   not from ALbert to  Albert. BUt, 
you probably
already figured that out.....
