The compelling reason to have one of these is what it can offer, over and above, in contrast to the current Boehm clarinet designs.

These things sound very cool, particularly when you play the alternate fingerings... the best weight carrying compromise I have seen involved a floor peg and heavily padded neck strap. The floor peg rested on a resonant wooden box that vibrated in sympathy with the lowest notes.

Authentic? Probably not.
An acoustic augmentation of the sound? Definitely.

I heard the Bach Solo Cello transcriptions played this way and it was WAY cool.
