"introducing the low E/B extension and now this retro-Bb mechanism.
We hope to have some pictures of the newest Artist Model 185s on our site soon."
Txs for your comments Eric & David.The tendency for the high register to go sharp, is a tendency that(also) comes from playing for so many years on a normal Boehm, but with a relaxed embouchure + the proper set up of mpce and reed the problem is no longer there.Closing up slightly the speaker pad/hole relationship has also helped me with this, but the best solution is on adquiring the correct embouchure and air flow.
I plan to add on to my set of Wurlitzers the low E/B extension, and I've already written to Brndt Wurlitzer about sending them soon for an overhaul + having these add-ons made and also the C#/G# extension to play with the RH index finger.
The wrap around retro-Bb mechanism seems also a good idea,I am not sure what the "change" would be, but I should perhaps ask you(or anyone reading this) , I know the Oehlers have this, and I have a Yamaha Oehler, that I fool around with sometimes I also had some years ago set of Yamaha RBs that had this wrap around, but the 185s are very superior, I sold my Yamahas in Holland 15 or 16 years ago.
Would it be possible to change the actual Bb mechanism on my set of 185's to the wrap around version ? .
All this beeing said, and just for the record, my interest in the Wurlitzers goes many years back,a colleague and good friend here in Argentina, Atilio Cascone, had an early set of H Wurlitzer RBs and they were the starting point of my interest in these instruments.The first time I met Herbert Wurlitzer was in 1968 and I bought my first set from him in the early 1970's. Being very busy at that time in my orchestra, I did play on them for some time, even performed the Weber N° 2 with the Bb, but without the proper mouthpiece,and did not have the time then to commit entirely , plus that I didn't know then as much as I do now about the German mpces and reeds. Now being retired and with more time free from professional duties I am having big time fun playing chamber music, practising, experimenting and trying to get the most out of these wonderful instruments. Best to all, Martin
