Tried to send this before but it was returned as undeliverable. Don't understand
that as I sent two other messages to the same address (klarinet@-----.org) in

For Jeroen,

That's interesting. My Reform Boehm Wurlitzers have no rollers.

For 10,000 Euro you should get a _pair_ of Wurlitzers. Or do they charge
more
for Dutch customers?

For Blake,

There was an article by Jochen Seggelke of Bamberg Germany in the 'rohrblatt
magazine describing his new Boehm system clarinet. It must have been over a
year
ago as I saw this instrument shortly afterwords at the music trade fair in
Frankfurt last year in March. Maybe this was the instrument you saw Blake?
It
had no connection between upper and lower joint but it had the forked Bb
fingering in the left hand.
