Good intonation:Selmer Signature(sounds dark)
Good tone:Rossi rosewood clarinet(one piece body).May sound very brighter.
French clarinet teachers often recommend to exersize A-clarinet to get good colon d'air(i.e. longer air column supportability).

Unlike William and Paul,I think Drucker and Neidich are not standard clarinetists in U.S. Especially Neidich,who trainded in Russia, seems to like very brighter tones and he uses straight tubing clarinet. Drucker's tone is transparent so to speak. Most American people like darker tones. Their choice of clarinets may be different from those by other pros.

If I have time and money, I would like to have lessens from Opperman,especially to learn his reed adjustment and finger-agility technique.Very cost effective.It may be better to clarify the objects to learn from Drucker and Neidich since it will be short period lessens.
