Dan and Elizabeth,
I also like the way wood LOOKS, but I am one of those people
who CRACKS every clarinet I play, no matter how careful I
am....maybe after a few more years of having them pinned, replacing
joint after joint, etc. I might consider something that sounds just as
good, but won't crack! I've even told myself, maybe I should just
play sax and flute instead!
