The "Excellence" model Uebel, though a bit pricey, most interests me. If I want a traditional German sound (which I very much like), I'll get an Oehler. In a Boehm, the additional "volume" and "brilliance" promised by the Excellence can't be bad, if matched with good intonation and responsiveness.

Ditto for Backun. I'm still waiting for a really sparkly Backun model. Maybe the new CG (out of my price range) or the forthcoming Luminere? After almost 60 years of playing and experimentation, I've just accepted that Boehm clarinets play best when they sound like Boehms (i.e. the Klose/Buffet instruments). To make a better Boehm is possible, but its going to tilt toward French chandelier-like brilliance. That's the nature of the Boehm beast, and I've accepted it.

And yes, Ray, the "those people" language in a previous comment does come across as racist, imperialist, and condescending, whether the poster intended it to or not. It is entirely inappropriate and wrong. Many members of this list probably concur with you in this but we don't want to fan that flame because we'd rather leave politics out of our postings and just talk about the clarinet. A statement along the lines of "if the techs who do the keywork on Uebel clarinets can match the high quality work we have come to enjoy from companies like Yamaha, that will be great" might have come across as a compliment rather than a possibly snide assumption of racial determinism and an opportunity to put others "in their place."
