 Both Andreas Ottensamer and Daniel Ottensamer (Berlin and Vienna Philharmonic) are now playing German Oehler system, Viennese bore clarinets made by Johanna Kronthaler.  Andreas reportedly told a student that these are the finest clarinets now available on the world market.  
 
Does anybody on this list play Kronthaler clarinets, or has anybody tried them?  A Boehm system instrument is also available from the Kronthaler workshop (expensive and hand made).

Shame there aren't any photos of their clarinets - maybe they'll be added in time.

 First I've heard of these clarinets.   We need to FIND OUT MORE, and post all the juicy details.   Of course a three year waiting list is not out of the ordinary for these sorts of manufacturers.  Wurlitzer is about as long, and at last check it's two year for a Gerold.
