OK - here we should note that in re Balkan and Middle-Eastern music,
we're discussing a BIG G clarinet, i.e. pitched a whole-tone below the
standard A. The little Gs for Austrian music are another matter
entirely (pitched a half-step below the little 14" long A-flat).

Anyone know if Orsi (or anyone else) regularly makes BIG G (wooden)
clarinets? If so, I'll pass the info along to some folk/ethnic musicians
who'd like to know.
