Hello everyone,
I am planing to get rid of my plastic clarinet and buy an intermediate level wooden one. I found a second hand F.A. Uebel Advantage clarinet, but I have some concerns. I can't find detailed information on their web site or any other place. Some were saying that the instrument is made in Germany, on other places China.
Could someone advise me about this particular model and F.A. Uebel clarinets in general? A comparison with same range products (Yamaha ycl 450/650, Buffet E11/13 etc) would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance and have a nice week end.

Just to say that Howarth's sent me out the Uebel student clarinet to try (can't remember the number). It was wooden and a little heavier than my Buffet E13 - made in Germany, very solid. I liked it, but didn't go for it then as I want to try the Bliss also. Howarth's told me that in their opinion 'you got a lot more clarinet for your money than with the Bliss....'. I shall go up to London and compare them both next month.

Sorry to reply a old post.
I also feel confuse of this question. One of my friend is a wind repair technician told me that uebel clarinet (at less the basic model) are made in China.
I am looking for a new clarinet this few mouths and I find that Uebel clarinet (Boehm or Oehler)is much cheaper than Buffet, Schreiber and Yamaha.
This is the price from www.thomann.de
Boehm
F.A. Uebel Classic Bb-Clarinet €859
Yamaha YCL-450 €999
Oehler
F.A. Uebel 621 Bb-Clarinet €966
Yamaha YCL-457II-20 €1,235
Schreiber D-26 Bb-Clarinet €1,350

I am very happy with the quality and sound of the top two Uebel Boehm clarinets, the Advantage and the Superior. There seemed to be some odd intonation issues with the lowest model, so I might steer clear of that one.
[I am editing this post to say that I enjoy the top three models! The first one that I tried was the Advantage which is a great clarinet. The next two models up, become even more refined in sound. ALL of them feature silver plated keys and leather pads (far more durable than the thin bladder pads found on most other horns). But I was disappointed with the Classic model.....I guess they had to cut corners somewhere.]
