Hello
Please excuse my naivite but I am trying to get hold of a very specific clarinet for my uncle and thought that this would be the correct place to get pointed in the right direction.
As a non-clarinetist I can only hope that what I am after makes sense to actual clarinetists. I also hope you will forgive a non-clarinetist for using this bulletin board.
I'm looking for a 15.2mm (wide) bore Fritz Wurlitzer clarinet with the Schmidt-Kolbe fingering, preferably in coco-bolo.
If anyone knows where I might be able to obtain such an instrument could you please point me in the right direction.
Best regards
Adam

Keep trying internet searches under "schmidt-kolbe". I saw an ad for a pair on a German site some time ago.
The current Howarth secondhand list has a pair of Fritz Wurlitzer Oehlers (1950) for sale for a mere 4,500 pounds!
Also check the Archives on this site, there have been postings on Fritz Wurlitzer Scmidt-Kolbe, Oehler and Reform Boehm systems. There might be some good contacts to be gleaned from these threads.

Adam: A Google search brings up pages for Herbert Wurlitzer clarinets (Herbert is Fritz' son) with descriptions of instruments and some prices. Hope this is helpful. Chuck

Thanks for the pointer. The Howarth clarinet pair are nice but not quite what my uncle is after.
Best regards
Adam
