Re: Three Oehlers: which one to overhaul?

Sorry, of course the Michl with its "Griffplatte" on the lower joint is an Oehler model. Like the earlier samples made by Arthur Oehler himself it does not have the Eb and sometimes F improvements of later top "Oehler" models.

General overhaul of my Oehler Uebels cost, five years ago, about 600 without resp. 800 Euros with replating. Bernd Renz, "Holzblasdoktor", Markneukirchen did an excellent job. Rolf Meinel and Frank Meinert, both Markneukirchen, also have a good reputation. With non- Oehler German systems it might cost 100 or 200 Euros less.

Generally I wouldn't recommend having such overhauls of older instruments done through the big name actual factories. I might suppose that US repairers have, in general, little experience with non- Boehm systems- perhaps rather with "Simple" or "Albert"- system?
