Hi everyone,

I am currently looking into possible upgrade/professional clarinets and I am very interested in the professional Uebel clarinets. These instruments do not seem that common, but do any of you have experience with them, in particular the Preference and the Romanza? I currently play a Backun Alpha, which is nice and light, and I'm looking for another that's romantic and warm. What do you think of the Uebel professional clarinets in general, also compared to equivalent models of Buffet, Selmer, Yamaha and Backun?

For the alto clarinets out there, what is your experience with the instrument? Do you get interesting and satisfying parts at your orchestra? And if you just have to double the alto sax or third clarinet, is that fulfilling on the alto? I'm an amateur b-flat clarinet player who is considering taking up the instrument, as it has such a beautiful sound
