Re: Who plays Fritz Wurlitzer clarinets?

Pretty much in agreement with Donald on this one.

I've got many French style mouthpieces that play in tune on Fritz Wurlitzer clarinets. It depends on the player and what you're going for soundwise, more than anything. There are purists who say that Fritz Wurlitzer had a playing concept in mind for the whole system to work together, and that deviation from that doesn't yield what he, the instrument maker, intended. This is probably true enough, but I think some people tend to confuse an *ideal* with what is actually possible.

Also, I tend to think that nearly any player switching from a Buffet R13 style bore to a Wurlitzer is going to have to adjust and change a lot of breathing habits before *anything* actually works for them---same thing switching to any large bore, though. Too often people will say "this isn't in tune" when they haven't actually learned how to play the equipment.
