Re: Why is the German clarinet becoming extinct?

Ben:

I think the main price difference stems from the production numbers - Boehm has the far bigger market share and thus R&D cost per unit is lower.

Per the sound - is there a clip somewhere where one and the same player plays on both systems? I believe that the variation/bandwidth between individual players is bigger than what both systems inherently produce. But I'd have to hear them side by side for a better educated guess.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Regarding the price, one fair comparison can gain from some manufacturers which make both systems, like LK, Dietz and SS. The official price of model V320, top model of German clarinet from LK, is 8060 euro (including 19% VAT) while the top Boehm model 410F is 5500 euro (including 19% VAT). Please note both of them are hand-crafted. From this, we can clearly see the price difference is mostly due to the complexity of key mechanisms.
