Re: DYNAMIC H CLARINET

There's a former Dynamic H player I know who used a pair of 'em in a symphony orchestra, but he switched to a pair of Concertos when they came onto the market - and perhaps the owner of one of the first batch of Concerto A clarinets that hit our shores. The keywork on these Concertos (especially the offset side keys) shows they were having trouble getting the pad cups and the new angled bends right (as opposed the the inline ones) - very hit-and-miss, and not really the workmanship that I like to see on pro clarinets, and indeed it was a glimpse of what was to come. Compare your Dynamic H against any current pro Leblanc and you'll see what I men.

Keywork-wise, the Dymamic H (and the other older pro Leblancs) has the best keywork they made in my opinion, it may be chunky and heavy, but it's reliable, uses thin cork and is far better made than the current crop.
