It probably should be Lemaire, in which case it is not a stencil but rather the intermediate model made by SML, a woodwind company founded in Paris in 1934 by three partners, Strasser, Marigaux and Lemaire. This company is best known, nowadays, for Marigaux oboes and english horns but, for many years they also made clarinets and saxophones.
I found a seller online who is selling a Loree (used, but he is an instrument technician so he has worked on it to restore it) for $1,200. It seemed to good to be true, because I am a poor college student and having a Loree is beyond my wildest dreams. I looked into the seller and he seems legitimate. He also has a good return policy. MY local music store said that they could match or beat any price I could find. Would it be best to show them this deal and have them match it (which I'm not sure they'll even be able to) or to contact the seller and get an instrument from him?
