Doug Sears added to the string:

<<<Benade wrote about the flute/clarinet combination in _Fundamentals of
Musical Acoustics_, Chapter 22.6, "B. Implications of Putting a Flute Head
Joint onto a Clarinet" (p. 490 in the Dover edition).>>>

I'm astonished - shocked! - that there would be serious academic study over
activites that we performed in our youth (i.e., messing around in the Band
Room).

I mean, what would happen if you stuck a clarinet mouthpiece on an
ophicleide? What monstrosity would occur then?
