Re: Wurlitzer fo* users?

I did get the fo* (and an fo) sight unseen - actually, their website picture was all I had in advance! :-) That, and some helpful descriptions from a poster on this site.

I had, however, been in contact with them beforehand and confirmed that not only do these (when ordered in the French option) use French-style reeds, but are designed to fit a French barrel and in general work with French bore clarinets. In fact, they fit my CSG's barrel sockets perfectly.

Also note that Wurlitzer was very accommodating regarding trial and return. I had sufficient time to try both (driving my wife and others crazy), and there was no problem returning one or both at the end though of course I kept the fo*.

FYI, lacking a string ligature at the time - I now use a VanDoren Klassik - I used a hair tie, which worked so well that I keep one in my case as an emergency backup.
