In my limited experience the player has the greatest impact on the sound
produced. I well remember being humiliated to listen to my teacher play on
my old Boosey & Hawkes "77" which I had blamed for my poor sound. Even with
the same "soft" reed that I had been using.

It doesn't obsolete the threads on how material affects sound, it demolishes

it and says that the sound of a clarinet is independent of the material from

which it made. If he used a carrot, I'll use a longer vegetable such as a
Chinese radish. They can be 3 feet long. So I can make a Chinese radish in

B-flat, in A, and in C.
