Little update:
Today I contacted the musicstore to ask them how their stock was looking. At the moment they have one RC prestige and a RZ in stock. They have a couple of buffets and one muse on order for the dutch military band.

Apparently it's very hard to get e-flat clarinets at the moment and even the big brands don't have them in storage (selmer and buffet) because of a shortage of staff. Earliest delivery will be in march, but I have to buy the instrument and won't be able to playtest it first. For me that's quite a risk especially since I want to try different makes and models.

The last yamaha e-flat they sold was in 2010 so same goes there, they can order one, but it's only one because they cannot take the risk cause nobody will buy it here.

28th oktober there will be a selmer demo day and they will inform me if they bring a recital or muse e-flat clarinet.

All in all I find it a weird situation, it has never been this hard to spend a couple of thousand euros.
