Is "responsiveness" the same thing as "sound character"? I'm not
at all sure.

Why do you think clarinets of the same make/model made in the
factory at
roughly the same time period can sound/respond/tune so
differently.

AND.....look at some of the wood they are using these days. I
inspected a new
clarinet the other day, and the wood looked like dyed plywood!

I can imagine "old-timer" instrument rolling over in their
graves!
