>Would it be better to get a clarinet with unstained wood? Could the
reality be that the wood is freer of defects because it was chosen with
the thought that the wood was not going to be covered up with stain, so
the wood had to be at least cosmetically flaw free? Maybe that is the
reason The Prestige and the Opus are UNSTAINED wood...go figure.

An unstained Festival with nice, dense grain cracked catastrophically on
my son. Cosmetically "flaw free" didn't help us there.
