Wow Jeroen,

I'm very jealous of your ability to try these different clarinets! Please
tell us something about how the Wurlitzer Clarinets sound/feel compared to
the Buffets. Does the reform Boem system also have additional vents for the
low F as I understand the Oehler does?

What is the price difference between the Wurlitzer and the Buffet? (In DM or
Guilder)

What types of mouthpieces do you use with the Wurlitzer? Different reeds too?
(German facing I assume).

Please shield your face when you say you are playing a D clarinet part on the
Eb as Mr. Leeson on this list will be in it (your face as we say here in
American slang) in approximately 3 nanoseconds. Stravinsky chose the D for
its sound, not the ease of playing the part.

Hello,
Here in the Netherlands almost all the clarinettist in orchestras play
Wurlitzer (thats a german manufacturer) but not with the german applicatura
(keywork), e.g. Oehler, but with a French keywork, called Reform Boehm
(there are a few alterations compared to your Buffet Boehm system). As
mentioned before: Georg pieterson, (solo of the Concertgebouw orchestra),
but also the guys from netherlnads Wind Ensemble and all the other
orchestras.
There is a difference between the german Reform Boehm clarinets (by
Wurlitzer, but also by Hammerschmidt or Yamaha) and the Buffet/selmer/ etc.
calrinets. They all go with different mouthpieces and also different reeds.
