Use http://www.babelfish.altavista.com for a rough translation (understandable, though).

Bb-Clarinet, silver plated, Grenadilla wood, with case, 24 keys, 6 rings, forked Bb mechanic, forked F mechanic, 4 trills, high B-C# trill key, doublicated F/C key, F lever.

Seems to be a reasonable German clarinet with almost complete key system (no bass enhancement).

Thanks Rene, but could anybody explain what the specification means (like what forked F mechanic means) I'm just wondering what they all mean

Go to the Boosey and Hawkes web site www.boosey.com/ and follow the links to instruments then clarinets and you will find all the Buffet and Schreiber descriptions in English.

Hello,

forked Bb mechanic = ring for left hand ring finger to use cross fingered clarion Bb which is good in tune
[ RT 1-3 | --- ]

forked F mechanic = additional vent key at the mechanism for cross fingered clarion F / chalumeau Bb (located allmost opposite to the Ab/Eb key hole)
[ (R)T 123 | 1-3 ]

F lever = auxiliary clarion F / chaulumeau Bb lever for left hand pinky
[ (R)T 123Bb | 12- ]

doublicate F/C key = clarion upper C / chalumeau upper F key for left hand middle finger
[ (R)T 1F-- | --- ]

Thank you very much Arnold, But I don't understand "hoher H-Cis-Triller". Does it mean high B to C# Trill key? If so, which key does this refer to?

Thanks
