I have to dissent, it's not that obvious as you may suspect. Uebel was taken over by Arnold Stölzel GmbH in 2005 and since then clarinet production was outsourced, but you're probably already aware of this. However, as I said earlier, by now, a certain amount of work is done in Markneukirchen, with a new workshop having been set up just a few months ago.

What's interesting: I wasn't aware of the high degree of sourcing, making the path of their higher-end models untraceable. In a statement related to a german forum user, they said:

-The grenadille is stored for at least 5 years in Wiesbaden
-The complete key material is made by a well-known german supplier*
-The hinge rods are made in Hessen
-Springs are made either in France or Germany
-The silver solder is made in Rheinland-Pfalz
In their chinese factory, the clarinets are assembled under strict supervision... etc. pp.

With this in mind, it'd make sense that the high-end models are finished in Germany still, even if the bodies are drilled in China. I have to admit, it'll be impossible to tell the complete origins of a Superior, but by now, I don't really care anymore.

*One reason why there are so many small clarinet makers in Germany. You "only" need to drill the bodies and solder the metal parts together.
