Frequently Asked Questions About RZ Clarinets

RZ Clarinets are meticulously handcrafted in Germany, primarily in workshops known for their adherence to traditional German instrument-making techniques. The wood is sourced internationally, but the final assembly and finishing occur in Germany.

Due to their specialized construction and traditional design, finding technicians familiar with RZ Clarinets may require some research. However, many experienced woodwind repair specialists are willing to learn and service these instruments.

The '17/6' and '18/6' designations refer to the number of keys and tone holes, respectively. The 18/6 models generally offer a slightly more refined and complex tonal character, favored by many advanced players, while the 17/6 models can feel a bit more nimble.
