Re: Patricola clarinets are rarely mentioned but

Patricola suffers not from a lack of quality (the one that I've held in my hands was a very fine piece of work indeed) but rather from lack of exposure.

In that, they join Buffet saxophones, Couf saxophones, full Boehm clarinets and A bass clarinets - it's hard to have an opinion about something if you never get to see it in the first place.

With the size of the Boehm market, I am surprised that there are not more makers along the lines of a Ubel or (insert name of German clarinet craftsperson here), turning out custom clarinets from scratch for the discriminating and discerning player.
