I am compiling information about the German clarinet player/maker Ludwig
Warschewski 1888-1950.
He was apprentice to Oehler in Berlin, moved to Stockholm after WWI, was
solo clarinettist with the Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, rebuilt Uebel
clarinets according to his own patented design (the details of this are
unclear -something to do with bulges in the bore - I'm trying to find his
patent application) and was professor at the Stockholm Royal Academy of
Music. His instruments were of high quality and popular. Unfortunately he
does not seem to have kept any records of his production or sales.
He died during a performance of Shostakovitch's sixth symphony.
I am particularly interested in the whereabouts of his instruments, I would
like to make some sort of register of them.
Any information on any aspect of his life and works would be most appreciated.
