 Re: using "period instruments" to play late 19th and early 20th century music

ruben: you might want to consider contacting Andreas Schöni in Bern. He makes historical clarinet reproductions. He has developed an ingenious way of changing the pitch of an entire clarinet using mouthpiece/barrel combinations. I don't fully understand what he does but it has something to do with where the cone in the mouthpiece starts and the overall volume of the mouthpiece/barrel interior. He is successfully able to change the pitch of an instrument around 5Hz up or down. He might be able to help bring your 19th century instruments up to A=440.

He has just finished making a pair of Ottensteiner copies for a clarinetist who will be playing Wagner's Ring with Concerto Köln. The orchestra have made the questionable decision of playing everything at A=435, so Andreas has built the instruments to play at this lower pitch. I tried the instruments a few weeks ago and they are some of the most beautiful clarinets I've ever had to pleasure to play on.
