<< You're just repeating what I have already said. Note, above where I
stated
"certainly, people are entitled to have aesthetic preferences".

This, of course, has nothing to do with the discussion at hand which WAS
about objective differences in instrument playing and sound quality.

I know this doesn't have much to do with this thread. But when I was reading
about having someone else do the fingerings while you blow, in regards in
eliminating the feeling preference of the player, this confused me. Whenever
I talk about the feeling of an instrument, it has nothing to do with how it
feels to my fingers. When I find a clarinet that feels good, it means that
it has just the right amount of resistance to the air stream -- I guess it
feels good to my diaphragm and windpipes.
