Debate:
As long as clarinets are made of wood--and by wood I don't mean products derived from wood that might be dimensionally stable--mass producing consistently astonishing clarinets is not possible.
I don't know.
You see, from what I hear, Yamaha has perfected the production of very consistent and extremely good professional clarinets and yet people tell me that when you find that just right Yahama.....
or Buffet, or Selmer, (or maybe Backun and others) and "Brannenize it" (or its equivalent: which I'll loosely describe as either taking your new instrument to the people at Brannen Woodwinds, http://www.brannenwoodwinds.com/ or craftsman like them, to bring out every essence of its capabilities,) that the high degree of consistent quality, say, on par with Lexus Autos (Lexus haters feel free) isn't possible.
If I had to buy a clarinet via mail order, I must confess, I'd buy a Yamaha.
