This is one definition.........another is when you go to the music dealer
and pick out an A and a Bb clarinet that play similarly, are the same
brand/model and buy them. These are what I have always discussed as a
"matched" set..........kind of like matching earings from different
diamonds you know? Gotta play test them and then match them up.

I don't know if dealers sell "matched sets"......that are
pre-matched.....do they Bill?
