I'm curious as to what the impressions were. I attended, but didn't get a chance to try them, and being pretty germ phobic (I never get sick either), the thought of trying one there wasn't an option for me. Way too ,much background noise.

I did get a chance to try only a couple of them but here was my impression. I'll copy and paste from the other thread:
I did try them out at ClarinetFest. I found that the sound was extremely warm and dark. I think I might have had just too hard of a reed when I tried them. I had a 3.5+ V12, so I think a 3.5 would have worked better. The only thing I found that I was surprised with was the facing on one of them seemed so off center, like the left rail so was so thin compared to the right rail. Sometimes it might not make a difference probably, because I wouldn't have noticed anything just playing right there at the booth. Didn't know if they were meant to be off like that. I found them a little stuffy, but like I said it could have been the reed I was using. The sound was very good. And personally, I thought they played better than the Behns, though the Behns were nice, I got a better sound with the Chedevilles and would pay for a Chedeville over a Behn for the sound I got and the price both are charging.

David - I only tried the two. Only one of the two had a really off center window (thick, thin rails). The other one was definitely more symmetrical but the tip was a little thick. I didn't get a chance to look at any more, unfortunately.
