RE: Who plays Fritz Wurlitzer clarinets?

Having said, that they have to fight poor image, I did not mean, that this is justified. I have heared of quality flaws of some former East German clarinets, e.g. broken keys. Or it is said that sometimes, silver was not available and the customer had to provide the material if he wanted silver plated keys. But these are stories of the past which led to a certain image. After the german reunification, the shortage of high quality material has gone and you may get the same quality from there. It needs a long time to polish up a once damaged image.

Today I would not hesitate to buy a clarinet from Fritz Wurlitzer or for instance from Rolf Meinel, another maker of hand-crafted clarinets in that area. Rolf Meinel imressed me with the quality of his instruments and with the personal business attitude. The ony thing that kept me from buying was the delivery time of several month.

DDR orchestral clarinetists certainly used high quality instruments made in DDR but these were probably not available to anybody. Rember that there was a different economic system with the absence of nearly any free market. The production and consumption of goods was planned by government.
