One piece clarinets have pluses and minuses. A plus is that he C#/G# key can go where it will do the most good for proper tone prudection, without making compromises required by a two-piece body. A disadvantage is that they are not as flexible in their tuning. Sometimes, you might need to pull out the middle joint for tuning, but you can't on a one-piece body.

Others have written on the Orsi brand in this list, and have not been all that impressed with them. Orsi and Weir is a different matter. These instruments are made in Canada by John Weir, and are much higher quality. They are two-piecers. They recently chaged the name to Taplin & Weir http://www.taplinweir.com/
