Hi Jeroen,

Jawel, I do have the forked Bb on my Wurlitzers, as well as a left hand Ab/Eb
and a throat Bb vent. I also had a low-E vent with thumb key added (like on
Oehler-System clarinets). Boy do I ever miss these things when I play on other
instruments!

Did you ever try Kraus + Leitner clarinets? They make an excellent Reform-Boehm
and, of course cheaper than W. They used to work for Wurlitzer and now have
their factory in the same town.

Best,
David
