Seabreeze, not sure what it is. The barrel is surely adjustable. Her sound and technique remains perfect as usual. Another really special recording from her. I will be saving this. Thanks for sharing.

Ah, Wurlitzer advertises a boxwood model 100c with gold key on their website but DOES NOT provide an image! Thanks for posting.

Only $14,147 US dollars. I'm sure she has a matched set.
The barrel is a P&S Zoom.

Peter is correct.....looking at the keywork, it is definitely not Wurlitzer.
Anyone have images or video of the Wurlitzer version?

The one she's playing in the video isn't a full Oehler system as it has a ring key for RH2 instead of the fingerplate.
I thought maybe a Schwenk&Seggelke, but the lowest pad cup/tonehole isn't in the same place as most German and Oehler systems (unless they've redesigned them): https://www.schwenk-und-seggelke.de/klarinetten_modell2000.php

I'm pretty sure she's been playing S+S clarinets since BEFORE they introduced the redisigned E/B key, she certainly spoke highly of them in 2002 (the one time I've met her).
I can't remember what year S+S started the new set-up for that key as standard on the German/Oehler clarinets, but it really is quite an improvement imho.
What is remarkable about this performance however is not what clarinet she is playing, but the ideas and individuality she brings to the music while still working within borders of style and taste.
There are so many recordings and performances of the clarinet literature that are either completely lacking in any originality or character, and some here and there where the player is trying to demonstrate individuality but the result is gauche.
Sabine Meyer falls into neither category!

The French version looks very nice. Looking at the key work with adjustable screws to adjust the pad heights is surely a winner for me. I also like the rollers for the lower right pinky/finger hand. This is a work of art. I truly wish other clarinet companies would adapt some of this key work. The cost is not bad at all. Under $10,000 I think.
A very nice post because of hearing Sabine and also seeing this horn design.
