Leblanc made a "copy" of their Opus bore and undercutting on a Plastic
Clarinet (Millennium) and the Clarinet played like a Plastic piece of crap.
It was the one playing it.

There was no magic in the bore and undercutting - it was plastic and played
like a plastic Clarinet. Sure the Scientists say otherwise, but tell that to
the players. Go ahead, get your shorts in a bind, but that's what I believe
from my playing experience - both with students and myself at a high level.

Materials DO make a difference and it isn't from what I've been told
ither - as I'm being told that it doesn't.
