 Re: Who currently makes plateau clarinets?

I purchased a used student Hanson clarinet last year that is a plateau type. I was extremely happy when it arrived because I suffer from old arthritic fingers and had difficulty covering the holes consistently. A few months back I inquired to Hanson if they could make a professional model bb clarinet with plateau keys and they said yes. I ordered one and it arrived the week before last.
It is the best clarinet I have played. Very resonant, lots of colors, very easy blowing and great articulation. I use a close Behn mouthpiece that worked well for me but required a fair amount of air. The new clarinet seems much easier to play with the Behn mouthpiece and I finally feel like I'm getting the full benefit of Behn's designs.
I would highly recommend the Hanson clarinets as they are made in England by Alistair Hanson and are of the utmost quality.
