Ruben,
F. Arthur Uebel made Oehler system clarinets since the 1930s but I don't know if he or his company made any Boehm Reform instruments. Around 2006, the Uebel company decided to produce a line of regular Boehm system instruments
and they used Jochen Seggelke as a consultant. After measuring many Buffet clarinets, Uebel managed to produce a "Superior" model regular Boehm instrument with some bore and tone hole taper changes that give it a more Germanic sound. A couple of years ago, when Morales switched from his Backun MoBa clarinet to a Uebel Superior, that began a collaboration in which Morales has at various times performed on other Uebel regular Bohem models, including the Zenit and the Romanza. In the Kovacs Homage to Strauss video, Morales is playing the Uebel Romanza (with a Vandoren BD5D mouthpiece). I'm not sure which model Uebel he is using in the Schmidt work, but it is a regular Boehm, not a Reform Boehm. In the US one of the main sellers of Uebel Boehm clarinets is https://www.viennamusicus.com. They are the best source of information about Uebel Boehms and which Uebel instruments Morales is using, because he is directly associated with them (a team that includes Larry Frank and Gi Lee), actually works on some of the barrels, and provides feedback to Uebel for design improvements and modifications.
