Kronthaler, as well as some other workshops in Germany, makes both standard German and Viennese instruments. Actually the difference between these two models is minor and players can make the change easily.

Traditionally, Viennese instruments differ from German ones in multiple aspects. E.g, traditional Viennese instruments never use Oehler mechanic and also no double F/C key.

Even though Ottensamer mentioned this pair was specifically made for him, I believe the modification is minor as any major change of bore size would require a dramatic change of key work thus a long R&D time. To me, it is unnecessary to distinguish German and Viennese instruments. They are just like R13 bore and RC bore; some call R13 as American bore while RC is European bore but they are both French clarinets.
