Does anyone know about wurlitzer clarinets? Are they any good? My daughter`s band director (beginning band) said she had never heard of that brand. I thought that Wurlitzer was an established music company.

Try putting Wurlitzer Clarinets into Google and Hey Presto!

I have already tried google. However, since I am not an instrumentalist, I am not finding the answer that I am seeking. What I was hoping to find was someone who is a clarinetist who could tell me their opinion of the WurliTzer clarinets.

Wurlitzer specializes in german system clarinets. However, about 90% of the world plays on french system clarinets (including your daughter). Wurlitzer also makes a version of the french system clarinet, but they are very expensive- around $5000.

I am a sax player, but to the best of my knowledge, the wurlitzer your talkng about (now it may be a new company or something, regarding the above post, i`m just saying what i know) that I know about was a stencil horn company back n the 40`s. I say this because I own a wurlitzer soprano from the 40`s and it is a stencil horn. Not a bad horn though. One thing does come to mind, and that may be the spelling. Unfortuantly, I do not have my soprano on hand at the moment, but it may be spelled differently. Is the clarinet old or new?

so in conclusion bryan is probably your best bet on this one

This may be of help. This information is a bit outdated, because Larry Combs is not a wurlitzer performing artist, but none the less:
