Hello David,
No you´re right: 10.000 Euro for a set Wurlitzers.
BTW: you have the Wurlitzer reform Boehm model, without roller keys and not
the (patented) LH "Bb verbesserung" (wich gives you the possebility of
creating a Bb" with a fork fingering).
My Yamaha reform Boehm is the same as YOUR wurlitzer. Due to that patent the
Yamaha company couldn´t copy that feature on their clarinets. (snif, snif).
