A couple of members of the list have used them and have commented quite favorably on them. You might not find much here on the list about them, as the name change was fairly recent. Look also for Orsi & Weir for more info.

Ben Redwine was a big backer of them for a while.

Thanks Jeff,

I looked up Orsi and Weir and found many conversations. I'm definitely going to give them a try. I only wish I could visit their testing studio!

I've spoken to John Weir recently, and they're opening a studio in Toronto in addition to the one here in NS. Don't know if that helps any!
Also, I attended a workshop/lecture given by John about what makes a clarinet work, and his knowledge of clarinet acoustics and mechanics was absolutely astounding, and his clarinets are fantastic.
