Not quite a fair comparison, as the Recital is an extremely THICK-walled
clarinet, very heavy and with a much thicker than normal overall diameter,
immediately apparent as soon as you pick it up. As for other clarinet
models, assuming outer diameter remains the same, the trend toward smaller
bores automatically means walls are getting thicker.
