For the life of me, I cannot understand how folks can so quickly make a =
determination about a piece of equipment in such a short amount of time. =
They spend eons picking and choosing this brand of instrument over that =
one and this brand reed or ligature over that one. Then they make =
blanket statements about the products based on a one or two month trial. =
If the makers of your favorite products had given up so easily on their =
development of what it is that you profess to be the best, you might not =
have that very equipment. As for me, I will continue to keep piles of =
toys in my studio for my students to try. It will make better musicians =
out of them surely, as they will be well-rounded in the knowledge of =
what's available for them to use and less narrow-minded in the diversity =
of clarinet culture.

P.S. Please, please, please, remember to snip. I almost broke my wrist =
trying to scroll down to the bottom of the e-mail to snip out what =
wasn't relevant to the reply!
