Pruefer was a competent American builder of clarinets. While the vast majority of their output was unremarkable student models, their middle and top range models could be very well done, with voicing that works particularly well for big band playing.
That, however, turned out to be a problem with the decline of big bands and dance bands. Very few people today would consider a Pruefer as appropriate for classical clarinet study, much less performance.
Still, for the jazz musician or for the saxophonist looking for a clarinet to double on, they continue to offer interesting possibilities.
