Oh really. Identical? If that were the case, many professional
players would have switched to plastic instruments decades ago.
The only plastic clarinet on the market which can make the claim
of being acoustically comparable to one of its wooden professional
counterparts is the Buffet R-13 Greenline. Beyond that, no man-
ufacturer materially (i.e.; to a relevant degree) mimics the a-
coustical properties of its proline models in its plastic clari-
nets. But perhaps you were referring to beginner and intermedi-
ate model wooden horns.
