Untrue.... Nothing destroys a sound like poorly done amplification. You
want quality sound, you aren't going to get it from any of these products.
A pickup on a clarinet is like a pickup on a stringed instrument. It sounds
nothing like the instrument in real life in a room.

There are plenty of ways (many of which I've discussed on this list- do a
search) to get good amplified sound out of a clarinet. It may not be cheap,
but it can be done. The best way to do it really depends on what you are
trying to get out of the amplification and the type of group it is.
