Uebel / G. Rudolf Uebel

The Uebel clarinet would be very interesting to try! Thanks to forum member DaveLeblanc for pointing this out! I have placed this page here rather than the modern Wooden category because it appears that most clarinets that we might find from Uebel would have been manufactured before 1980.

One sale ad gives this information:

Gerhard Rudolf Uebel (1915-1991) was a member of an instrument makers family with a tradition dating back to 1878. The F.Arthur Uebel company is still making clarinets in Markneukirchen (Germany). G.Rudolf was a nephew of F.Arthur and took over the production of flutes when F.Arthur passed away in 1963. The clarinet workshop went to his brother Max Werner, who continued making clarinets under the brand name of his uncle. The company is now no longer family owned and resides under Triumph Adler AG (together with Courtois,Strasser-Marigaux and Meinl). The production of flutes apparently ended with the death of G.Rudolf Uebel in 1991.

Uebel made interesting flutes and other instruments. This information from an aluminum flute listing:
