Anyone out there have any experience with these Clarinets? I recently purchased a circa 1969 clarinet at an antique store. It's wood and appears to be a well made instrument. Playability was limited due to a couple of missing pads and a sticky key. I'm having it overhauled and should get it back in a couple of weeks.
Any thoughts or experience with Schreiber's?

Hello,
Schreiber clarinets are known in Germany especially for their 'student models'.
Did you allready 'search the forum' for 'Schreiber' (in 'All Words' and 'All Dates')?
Here two links I found there:
<a href=http://www.boosey.com/Instruments/Schreiber/FrameSchreiber.htm>Boosey -> Schreiber</a>
<a href=http://www.sneezy.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=8871&t=8722>Sneezy's Post 8871/8722</a>
I hope, this will help,
Arnold (the basst hornist)

Thanks, but I've done all the searches.
I am looking for personal experiences with these clarinets. Especially the older ones. I'm not sure if Schreiber has always been a student clarinet(Prior to the merger w/ Boosey). This instrument from a workmanship and materials standpoint seems to be more of an intermediate clarinet.

I owned and played a nice Schreiber (Big Logo on the Lower joint and Bell) with a silky action and very stuffy throat tones.
It was pretty resistant but played in really well in quieter passages.
It was really well in tune, but so resistant that my Master Model kept its job.
These older Schreibers should be really solid with the right mouthpiece and barrel.
Let us know how it works out!

The Schreiber & Sohne plastic (formerly hard rubber, and wood prior to that) clarinets are also the former Evette & Schaeffer student clarinets, which were Buffet stencils actually made by Schreiber. I've restored a few of these, and I've never been terribly impressed --- clunky keywork (solid but doesn't feel very good) and rather mediocre, colorless sound is how I'd describe them. As always: your mileage may vary!

Sorry if I'm out of point here. But does anyone have experiences with Richard Keilwerth and their clarinets. Richard Keilwerth is another manufacturer of german ckarinets
