Re: Does anyone have experience of Keilwerth clarinets?

I forgot I also had a Boehm system R. Keilwerth Eb clarinet which I completely overhauled, only the barrel had been shortened leaving only around 2mm or maybe less of wood between the sockets and the tuning was dreadful as a result. It was bought by a member of this messageboard who found a longer barrel for it and that solved the tuning problems.

The Oehler system one I've got is pretty old and has seen better days, but it's a reasonably well built instrument. I think it was used in a marching band going by the scratch marks on the bell where a lyre clamp was fitted.
