Perhaps the instrument is really better than most people think and so there are in fact more than 1 person in that states that endorsing it? 2 professionals only using the Josef in the States would be funny wouldn't it? I really recommend them, having played all models myself. On the other hand, the Josefs are getting extremely popular in Asia and Europe. I really find that the response is impeccable and the 2nd octave extremely forgiving, especially for people who are used to Lorees, myself being a Loree player, on a short scrape reed of course.
Beware of the different models though, because the only one that i found to be of equal strength in all aspects of playing is the Manfred Clement model. The standard model is stiff in the lower register, at least to my personal preferences. I tried 3 of those so i am pretty sure that is a general character of it. Extremely warm sound but there is a stiffness in that i can't describe. Then you have the white top model that resembles the Buffet Greenline that Albrecht Mayer played on, this oboe is supposed to be amazing in the bottom for 2nd oboe players, higher pitch in the bottom, superb response in the low register, and indeed, it delivers, but has a scheisse upper register, so forget about it. Then there is the rosewood bottom joint standard model...which, really doesn't help much. The Clement model of theirs is the best oboe they made, in fact, one of the best oboes i have played ever!
Regards,
Howard
