I work for a clarinet-maker that does everything by himself from A-Z. The drawbacks of having a clarinet made by a cratftsman? I can only see two. One is that you order an instrument and are stuck with the one he has made for you. That's why I hace the person I work for have three instruments available on delivery date so that the customer has at least a bit of a choice. The other drawback is is obviously the price. In the case of the person I work for, this isn't a factor as his clarinets go for the same price as a Buffet or Selmer. Tne German clarinets, however, are expensive. Extra keys won't change your intonation, but extra holes will, so I would be wary of that. A clarinet is a clarinet, so any good repairman should be able to repair it.
