Of note: includes 2 Gumstix boards.
Having played for many years (I would still play if my extremely
expensive clarinet hadn't been stolen), I would like to see a video or
at least hear how it sounds. Pretty impressive though that it could
play something that they claim is music (I've heard students play
"music" that made me want to shoot myself in the head! :o ).

This may not feature the clarinet you seek. But it's still pretty good.

The tired assertion that America "supports democracy" in the Middle East
is increasingly transparent. It was false 50 years ago, when we
supported and funded the hated Shah of Iran to prevent nationalization
of Iranian oil, and it's false today when we back an unelected military
dictator in Pakistan - just to name two examples.
