Orsi's website: http://www.orsi-wind-instruments.it/ (they're now making reproduction boxwood instruments, too)
Orsi's clarinet offerings look really kewl. They seem to offer a couple different fingering systems and a variety of materials. I really like the way the cocobolo ones from Orsi & Weir look. Odd little barrels, though.
Hey, Merlin, you know about these. How 'bout a mini-review?
Sorry; I meant "they offer Boehm, 'German' (probably standard Oehler) and M?ller system keywork". It's mentioned on http://www.orsi-wind-instruments.it/surichiesta.htm and http://www.orsi-wind-instruments.it/clarinets_list.htm.Merlin said:The instruments don't have different fingering systemspete said:Orsi's clarinet offerings look really kewl.
