Subject: RE: vibrations - oh not again!

I have noticed that in discussions about musical instruments, and wind
instruments in particular, people (musicians) are often unwilling to recognize
the fact that they experience the instrument and its tonal qualities quite
differently from their audience. IMHO, most of the discussions on tone quality
stem from this oversight. The path through which the sound is perceived is
totally different from that through which the audience perceives it, hence the
huge difference. Add to that the weight of the instruments, the sculpting of the
keys, the vibration of the air through tone-holes,etc... and you will appreciate
there is more to an instrument (from the musicians point of view) than just
plain sound.

I put a bracket{{{{ around what I agreed about what Roger Garrett wrote.
I have yet to play a plastic clarinet that could hold a candle to my
Buffet Prestige R-13's.... PERIOD. If you can duplicate the dimensions,
and mass produce it to sound the same - I'll be the first to order
it!!!!! Then I'll get a Bass and an Eb to play outside in the snow with.
