Re: And the question is...?

Here's one I know, actually for sale: https://www.deblaasinstrumentenspecialist.nl/gebruikte-blaasinstrumenten/klarinet/wurlitzer-klarinet.

It was purchased around 1985 for the Philips Wind Band. The member for which it was intended, a 30+ years Leblanc player (my teacher at that time), couldn't tame it. Since then, it was handed over to at least four other members, all Leblanc or Buffet players. Some stuck to it for years, but it ended up in the closet so we decided to sell it.

Please note that intonation was not the culprit, but the effort involved to adapt from the French to the German acoustical concept (polycylindrical 'hourglass' versus reversed cone).
