Amati make a G clarinet (I have one and also a genuine turkish G by
Sul Burka. Their tone is very similar but I prefer to play the Amati.
However I believe that in a Turkish ensemble the G traditionally
reinforced the bass line with the occasional tenor register counter
melody; the 'melodic' clarinet is the high D or even th G altissimo,
as also found in Austria. Leblanc may make a D but I have been
looking for a high G for a long time and now I have found a possible
lead I think my playing is unlikely to be up to it.

I have a very nice source for a high G. Try Schwenk and Seggelke.
