 Opinions about JL clarinets "Diva" and/or "Arioso"?

From the manufacturers pictures they seem to be well made. Has someone here tried them and what's your opinion? How would you characterize their sound, in comparison with some other more common brands/models? Or how is it in terms of a "typical" French, German or perhaps Austrian sound (I know there may be many opinions about what's "typical" in this regard, but here I'm just asking for a possible personal impression from anyone)?

By the way, I'm glad to see that the "Arioso"-model has both a low e and f correction key, which I personally think every serious clarinet maker should offer - at least as an option.

I know "ruben" here works for JL, and I would be happy to hear also your opinion - however biased it may be  ;) (I think Mark will accept that  :) ). Can you perhaps share also the bore measurements, at both ends of the upper joint?

This should be a correct link to where the clarinets can be seen: https://www.joyeleroy.com/instruments

Thank you for your interest. I work for them, but am not on their payroll-it's just to lend a helping hand. Obviously, I can't promote the product on this board, but would be happy to answer any question e-mailed to me.

I like the fact that the thumb rest plate can adjust a little further from the clarinet body.




Price list anyone?

Paul, prices are pretty close to a Buffet Prestige; and well under the Tosca and the Divine.

Paul: We won't be at the ClarinetFest. We try to go to the European ones, though. What we need is a few more "stars" playing JL. That's what got Backun and Rossi going.

I know there is some investment in just globe hopping but stars show up at Clarinet conferences. Just sayin'
