Hey there!
Anyone who knows anything about the SML Strasser clarinets?
I think I read somewhere that the Strasser was SMLs intermediate model - the name Marigaux signifying the top of the line model. About what kind of quality would I be able to expect from a SML Strasser clarinet? I have a "King Marigaux by SML" alto sax that plays just wonderful, so I'm a bit curious about SML clarinets. What would "intermediate" mean, in this case?
Would it be a professional quality clarinet but without polycylindrical bore or whatever (kind of like a Selmer Centered Tone or something, you know, "what used to be the top of the line model before we started shipping the newer, improved models", like), or would it be cheapish in quality and workmanship?
If the SML Strasser is something like the Centered Tone (great tone and great build quality, but slightly inferior intonation to a more modern clarinet), it would still be a nice clarinet, but if it doesn't have build quality or tone, it wouldn't. Anyone who knows anything about those SML Strassers, would it be worth looking at one of them if they turn up somewhere reasonably near where I live?
Best regards, Eskil.
