 Re: Lp or HP Bb clarinet for greek music?

I love Greek folk music, but won't be able to play it on a clarinet unless I get the right instrument. In Greek, Turkish and Oriental music there are several micro intervals almost impossible to play on common clarinets. Also harmonies, etc are different.

A Greek or Turkish clarinet is tuned in G and equipped with Albert system. It's also larger than a Bb clarinet. To use a Boehm/Oehler clarinet it has to be rebuilt depending on which key you're going to play. There are Greek clarinet players who have done this. And they need several clarinets for a concert.

Believe me, I've been told this at a work shop held by leading Greek folk musicians.
