I don`t know what Karl Leister said at hte clarinetfest but I had the opprtunity
to play< on his former instrument belonging to the "Berliner Philharmoniker" It
is over 20 years old but not a bit of blown out. Maybee it depends if an
instrument is used the right way. For example a piano sounds like it is played.
Why not clarinets.

Best wishes Georg Kühner
