Not far from you is a very good maker of historical clarinets:

www.sorengreen.com

The choice of instruments (key, pitch, construction, etc.) depends entirely on what repertoire you will be playing.

(Small note: I know that in German "Barockorchester" doesn't imply that they only play Baroque music, but is rather what we would call "Period Instrument Orchestra" in English. I'm not sure how it is in Dutch?)

So first find out what the repertoire is and then find out what the appropriate instruments would be. A period instrument specialist will easily have upwards of 12 instruments in their collection.

Difficulties? You'll have to get used to blowing differently, using different fingerings, different mouthpieces and reeds, intonation etc. And there's no point playing on these instruments without learning something about playing styles from different periods. Perhaps Colin Lawson's book on early clarinet would be a good place to start.
