Re: An Albert sys. Wurlitzer?

One more thing: if the clarinet is not marked "Fritz Wurlitzer, Erlbach" or "H. Wurlitzer, Neustadt" the instrument in question is not one of the famous Wurlitzer clarinets, made by the master instrument makers resposible for the those played in the Berlin Philharmonic, the Concertgebouw Orchestra, and elsewhere.

There are, for instance, clarinets out there made by a Wurlitzer company in the USA around the turn of the last century--these are entirely unlike the instruments made by Fritz and Herbert Wurlitzer. I'm not sure where one would look to find information on those--we at Wurlitzer Clarinets America work for the family in Neustadt, headed by Ruth Wurlitzer, the widow of Herbert (who was the son Fritz--the craftsman responsible for perfecting the Reform-Boehm).
