Okay, then. In my experience, I have only encountered Chadash clarinets that have poor intonation. They don't sound that bad, but are pretty flawed in terms of intonation being all over the place. This isn't really that surprising. It's not easy to manufacture instruments. Every custom clarinet runs the risk of poor design and a small sample to choose from. I don't buy for a second that he's recreated some magic from older R13 models. That's the type of unquantifiable statement that you're free to accept if you're not depending on your performance on that instrument to propel your career further. Dealing with a small maker there is always pressure to want the instrument to be good, and so people can be fooled. If you are close to the clarinet maker, that makes it even harder. This is what I have seen in those people who had Chadash clarinets only to discard them later when they realized that they were kind of funky. Those people fixed their issues almost overnight by lifting the spell that can be wrought by subjective, personal experiences. As clarinetists, we have an amazing capacity to fool ourselves.

The wood is fine, the keywork is also very good. Buying a clarinet, however, is an expensive and important decision not to be fooled around with. If you have nothing to lose, feel free to play in the custom market. You might get lucky, but you won't be buying into an upper echelon of ability.
