    Description

    Bb Oehler System clarinet by Richard Müller/Bremen, overhauled. Many hours of work have gone into bringing this fine instrument to excellent condition.
    This classic Oehler system Bb clarinet by Richard Müller (Bremen, Germany) has just been overhauled with white leather MusicMedic Roo pads and a few selected pads were replaced with Valentino pads of the correct thickness for optimal seating. Two original barrels and two original mouthpieces are included and provide for tuning at A440-443, depending on the combination. The wood mouthpiece was refurbished beautifully by Vytas Krass with a 0,90 mm tip opening. The hard rubber mouthpiece has not been worked on.
    The tone is big and full, reminiscent of an older FA Uebel, with excellent intonation and even response typical of Oehler system instruments. It has left F and Eb keys but no low E correction key.
    The original mouthpieces have an exit bore of 15.5 mm, even larger than a Viennese bore mouthpiece, which makes this a somewhat unique instrument, and probably accounts for the unusually big sound. I am reluctant to let this one go...
    Original brown leather case is in good condition without any unusual odors.
    No returns.
