Warren, you are indeed the newbie to this group.................
If you looked at the archives you would notice that it has been
extensively discussed before. As well, Sue (if I recall) has been here
long enough to know that materials has been a widely discussed topic
on the board.

Not that I fully agree with them, but it has been discussed.

What a stupid, bummed out, condescending reply you have just made,
Professor.
I don't believe what I just read!
I've been reading every message for the last 3 months and I don't
remember
ever seeing a note regarding the independence of materials and their
sound
as you imply. So my question to you, Professor Acoustics, is why is
Grenadilla wood emphasized as THE WOOD for clarinets as opposed to
plastic,
rubber, paper mache, and anything else which might be suitable for
outdoor
use, rain, etc. Is it just a marketing ploy? So be it if it is. But
I
resent your tone in your answer, and now we know why people just don't
like
to get along. Perhaps you need to open your throat; enhance your
embouchure.

What's news to me is how people who claim to be musicians, makers of
music,
can have such foul dispositions. Now that's news!
