Jim,
WOW! That certainly blows many assumptions out of the water! Thank you for sharing that information with us. In describing tone quality is it these levels you use for comparison? If I'd known all this was available I would have begged to see it during ClarinetFest. This brings all sorts of additional questions to mind but it is late....
