I once called WW/BW to find out the origin of their house brand instruments,
and to get the question answered directly.

The WW/BW brand of clarinets and saxophones are both of Taiwanese origin (the woodwind retail rep on the phone did not know the exact Taiwanese company).

After a bit of persistance on my part, (and reluctance on hers), the rep admitted that the WW/BW instruments are made by Blessing. I assume that it is not supposed to be public information.

ALL WW/BW instruments come with a 1 year manufacturer's warranty.

The rep was courteous, and very accomodating. I thanked her for her honesty.

I have not personally played a Blessing clarinet, but have tried both a Blessing trumpet and Blessing flute. I would prefer students to spend a bit more money and get a higher quality instrument...GBK
