The 19th century was a time of upheaval in the history of woodwind instrument making, as the oboe, flute, clarinet and bassoon were fundamentally reformed and numerous new instruments were developed. In many orchestras, however, older designs were able to survive for a long time, as the new models were only hesitantly accepted. This report from a conference of the Institute of Musicology at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich sheds light on this diversity, which is lost today, and places it in a comprehensive context. Experts from musicology, music instrument museums and music practice approach the extraordinarily rich innovations in woodwind instrument making of the 19th century from various perspectives. Innovative technical solutions and new instruments are examined as examples, but local traditions are also examined. With contributions by Klaus Aringer, Geoffrey Burgess, Beatrix Darmstädter, Josef Focht, Heike Fricke, Klaus Hubmann, Gunther Joppig, James Kopp, Thomas Reil, Albert Rice, Sebastian Werr, Henrik Wiese and Ann-Katrin Zimmermann.

To the editor:
Sebastian Werr studied musicology at the FU Berlin and the University of Milan; he received his doctorate at the University of Bayreuth, where he also habilitated in 2008. In addition to the history of woodwind instruments, his research focuses on music theater from the 17th to the 21st century and the social history of music. In 2011 he published an extensive catalog volume on the "History of the Bassoon" with the Wißner-Verlag.

Clarinettists and saxophonists dream of reeds with ideal playing and sound characteristics. This book “Das Klarinettenblatt. Das Saxophonblatt. - Bauanleitung” shows how this dream can be realized. It is a construction manual for building reeds from the ground up. The internal laws of cane are described from the cultivation to the finished reed, and are made known and utilized in order to generate the best possible sound and playing characteristics.

This textbook is equally practicable for all playing levels: for students, for professional orchestral musicians, soloists, as well as for all amateurs. The instructions are transferable to all instrument sizes and also to historical instruments.

Paul Mörsch's thesis provides a comprehensive study on the manufacturing and optimization of clarinet reeds, with a particular focus on the methods of Hanstoni Kaufmann. After an introduction and a historical overview, the thesis examines in detail the requirements for clarinet reeds as well as their production – both through traditional craftsmanship and industrial manufacturing. A dedicated section explores manual adjustment techniques to optimize machine-made reeds. The thesis is complemented by an interview with Hanstoni Kaufmann and a survey of 87 clarinetists, offering practical insights into reed handling. This well-founded analysis makes the thesis a valuable resource for musicians, instrument makers, and researchers in the field of woodwind instruments.
