Many of us would be delighted to be able to try these out in the U.S., but the real question is whether a distributorship would generate sufficient profits to make it worthwhile and sustainable as a business. Uebel seems to have struggled with this for a few years before they became more high profile. It would probably take a fair bit of advertising and some name players switching to L&K. The other thing is that these are handmade, high-level horns, and the profitability of most makers selling in the U.S. is sustained by a product range that includes instruments that can be sold in large numbers to students. I don't know why the U.S. Wurlitzer distributorship was dropped, but I'm guessing that as a business, it just didn't make enough to justify the continued effort.
