I believe Luis Rossi uses tone hole inserts and it doesn't affect anything.
His clarinets are more resonant, rich, and in-tune more than anything I've
ever heard. I have a Yamaha 72 A clarinet that uses inserts and it sounds
great. I don't think tone and resonace is different with them. After all, it
is the internal shape of the tone hole that dictates sound and response. Not
opinion, pure scientific, researched, widely-known fact!
