DescriptionTechnical description: Blackwood with silver plated german silver ferrules and keywork. Five pieces: mouthpiece, barrel, upper section, lower section, bell. Ludwig Warschewski was a player and builder. His instruments were in fact re-builds of F.A. Uebel clarinets, carefully tuned and often with the keywork additions of this pair. Disconnectable articulated C♯₄/G♯₅, opened by L4, closed by R1. Alternative R1 touchpiece for C♯₄/G♯₅. Disconnactable C sharp mechanism. Full Oehler system including E₃/F₃ correction vent in bell, activated by R0. 18 keys, 5 rings, 1 plate, 4 black rollers. L0: T; speaker corresponding with first ring. L1: T + ring + vent; throat A♮; throat A♭. L2: T + ring + vent; alternative cross key for F₄/C₆. L3: T + ring; E♭₄/B♭₅. L4: C♯₄/G♯₅; E₃/B♮₄; F♯₃/C♯₅; alternative lever for B♭₃/F₅; alternative lever for G♯₃/E♭₅. R0: E₃/F₃ correction vent. R1: T + ring + vent; side F₄/C₆; side E♭₄/B♭₅; side trill key for throat G-A or C₆-D₆; side trill for throat A-B♮ and B♭-C; alternative touchpiece for C♯₄/G♯₅. R2: Plate. R3: T + ring (forked B♭₃/F♮₅); cross B♭₃/F♮₅. R4: G♯₃/E♭₅; F₃/C₅. Keymount type: screwed in pillars. Keyhead type: modern. With a black presumably non-original double case fitted with dark red velvet with (5478). Mouthpiece missing. Repair History: Resonance key for E₃ was missing from B♭ instrument, replaced by Die Holzbläser, Berlin. A pair with (5478). Warschewski bought Uebel clarinets and rebuilt them, so it is unlikely that this was a matched pair. But from his point of view it possibly was, because he tuned them and made them matching. |
