How will you find it out?

I do not know much about the Vienna Philharmonics (only heard that
they play "their own" austrian system), but I hardly think they have a
B-natural clarinet. (Is there any maker constructing them?) Maybe a C
clarinet, but even this seems unprobably to me. But we will
see. Waiting for your report...
