Well, if it is proposed as a metaphor, maybe it's like the block one sees
being worn on the forehead during a bar mitzvah. What is it anyway, a good
luck charm? Anyway, if it is portrayed as being a part of the clarinet,
then the photo is wrong because it ought to be shown at an angle to show it
being in line with the bore. Even straight on, the block seems to be stuck
to the outside. The wood itself looks very posh, like a piece of lignum
vitae.
