 Re: Period Clarinets-a "standard" model?

As Schubert's and Beethoven's lives overlapped and they lived and worked just a few hundred yards away from each other, I see no reason why the "Schubert clarinet" and the "Beethoven clarinet" -if there was such a thing- should have been radically different. One would imagine that Schubert heard a lot more of Beethoven than Beethoven did of Schubert; all the more so as poor Ludwig was deaf.
Simon: you've opened the door to the important question of the sociology of music making in the present-day Classical music world. It is my experience that free-lancers, by and large, take a more idealistic attitude to music than well-fed "routiniers" with cushy jobs; but there are mercenary free-lancers just as there also exist idealistic "civil-servant" musicians. I do agree that "a searcher" tends to be more of an artist than a hack.
We at JL do make period instruments. Ours are beautiful to look at, but don't sound very good unfortunately. This is for want of having had a first-rate, specialised tester. Do I get points for honesty?!
I'm glad this thread is finally raising at least a little interest.
