评价
“A game changer. They are real work horses but supple in the hand and absolute gems to the eyes. They tour with me from the cold high Andes at 3000 meters tosea-level and an eye watering 38° celsius and 77% humidity on the Caribbean coast and thenback again! The pads do not fail and I can only admire the wood selection and the natural seasoning process which only leaves the wood more lustrous now than the day I purchased them.They take whatever I throw at them in challenging acoustics where I have to blow at mymaximum to producing the most etherial triple pianos you could ask for. They are incredibly resonant with a color of sound that, as one listener commented, 'floats up above'. These Zenit clarinets are my new best friends.”
