Re: Plateau clarinet redux

I’ve been flirting with a plateau keyed Noblet during a difficult spell of peripheral neuropathy (hand/finger numbness) after medical treatment. The challenge is not being able to guarantee an airtight seal of the holes with the fingers, and the plateau keys mean it’s possible to play with much more confidence. The plateau Noblets are reasonable quality instruments which appear occasionally on the second hand market (as I intend mine will do shortly as the sensation is coming back!), but of course not on a par with a good R13.

In the process though, I became aware that Uebel produce a plateau keyed version of their Superior, which if it’s anything like the standard version I tried a few years back, will be an excellent instrument. This is worth a read: https://www.viennamusicus.com/worth-hearing-uebel-clarinets/
