Wood vs. Plastic clarinets

Author: Leonard A
Date: 2003-02-21 18:21

I'm wondering if anyone has played on a plastic clarinet (student or otherwise) and felt that the tone was comparable to wood. If so, which one? I have a Vito Resotone clarinet which I think sounds pretty good, but I have never played on wood. Wondering when I'll want to move up. Part of it seems to be a status thing--that wood is the only "real" clarinet and all good players play wood. The problem with wood is that it seems to be so sensitive to temperative, cracking etc., and the one thing you can say for plastic is that it's low maintenance.
