This basset clarinet in A was the instrument Mozart originally had in mind when Mozart wrote the famous Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra, K622 (1791). It is also to perform Mozart's the Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, K581 (1789), as well as several other works written for the basset clarinet from various composers.

We have designed this basset clarinet based on a sketch from Anton Stadler's concert program in Riga, dated 1794. Drawing inspiration from the craftsmanship of Theodor Lotz (1746–92), the renowned Viennese maker, who collaborated with Stadler, Mozart's virtuoso clarinetist, to create this exceptional instrument.
