 Re: Why is the German clarinet becoming extinct?

Ben: There are very few players that play both systems. If they do, they usually haven't an equal level on both types of instrument, so it isn't quite fair to compare. I feel the German mouthpiece is probably slightly more responsible for differences in tone than the instrument itself. The Selmer Récital has a somewhat similar sound to a German clarinet, though it uses a far narrower bore. This , I suspect, is due to the flare of the bore, which is not polycylindrical, but flares out ever so slightly in the bottom joint towards the bell. The thick walls of this Selmer model also give it greater warmth. At any rate, the tester of the Récital, Guy Dangain, was aiming for a compromise between both systems, and I believe he achieved it.
I agree that German clarinets are more expensive because they are not at all mass- produced. The fact that they are hand-crafted adds to their appeal.
