Subj: Re: [kl] Any Barrels made of Hard Rubber?

In early 1950 when I was in high school , I had palyed a clarinet made by
plastic. Just because the material is different, it effect is different, a
plastic clarinet gives cooler and harder tone. mouth piece and the other parts of
a clarinet is a different story. You can not get the gentle and lovely tone as
the wooden one.
