Sue, you appear to take special notice of the fact that your hard
rubber clarinet "sounds very much like a wooden clarinet." Why
should this surprise you? You could not have missed the almost
continual discussion on this list about the sound of a clarinet
being effectively indepenedent of the material from which it is
made. What would you expect a hard rubber clarinet to sound
like?

Now if you had said, "A hard rubber clarinet does NOT sound like
a wooden clarinet," that would be news.

I would like to recommend Tom Ridenour's hard rubber C clarinet.
I purchased one last December direct from Tom and it is GREAT!
The intonation is very good and it sounds VERY much like a wooden
clarinet too. And the price is about half of a Noblet or
Patricola.

I used it last fall to play Strauss, plus I play at church it
every week.
It also makes a fairly decent substitute for oboe in community
bands
and such, where oboes are not always available.

I love my C clarinet. :-)

Sue
