S&S have some sort of proprietary wood treatment that lessens the warping situation with boxwood, I believe...they've made around 100 of them so far (in both Boehm and German systems, and some bassets as well), and while I know a few have cracked, it's no worse than anything we've seen with cocobolo and grenadilla. Untreated, though, I would imagine it's a nightmare.

I just posted it for novelty value, really.

It's fun to see and hear it in the quintet context! (I don't imagine it'd be the ideal orchestral clarinet, but I find it charming in a chamber ensemble.)
