Susan Lampley Browning asked:

Does anyone have experience with both the Sony Minidisc recorder and the Sony
Dat Walkman recorder? I wonder which is better at capturing clarinet sound.

Susan-

If they both use digital recording techniques, then the difference will be
related to the microphone used for recording, and the amplifier/speaker
combination used to play back the recording.

As far as making a clarinet sound good, you'll have to judge for yourself.
I'm not sure we will reach a consensus on what "good clarinet sound" is!
