I tried one when I was in Turkey - very easy to play

You must have very large hands. When I tried several a few years ago (in Istanbul) I could hardly cover the holes, and I've been a professional for several decades.

The No.1 reed worked surprisingly well on that set-up (I generally use 4's) but you are correct about the moldy reeds. After I played the horns I got ill and had to be on antibiotics for 10 days.

If you have a chance to listen to Ismail Lumanovsky play the G clarinet, he sounds great. I just heard him play a concert in Houston where he played both G and B-flat.
