I recently returned from attending the ICA ClarinetFest in Stockholm. Bernt Wurlitzer was there as an exhibitor with several of the Herbert Wurlitzer clarinets, including a set of Reform Boehms. They are absolutely spectacular instruments to play! Just the right amount of resistance, for me at least, with good balance and intonation throughout. The workmanship is, of course, first-rate. Each instrument is totally hand made, hence the nearly $5000 each price for the Artiste model, plus $650 for the double case.
Howart was there also, with gobs of the new S1 and S2 clarinets. Very impressive instruments IMHO!
