I'm sure top players can sound good on an inexpensive clarinet, but would they sound like them, and would it give them the interpretive range they usually enjoy? Why have they taken trouble (often alot of trouble) choosing an instrument if any competently made instrument would do? If we hear something special in a person's playing it is only natural to wonder whether the instrument has helped create that, and whether we might have something of "that" if we owned the instrument. I think this is a perfectly reasonable line of enquiry.
Personally, I would be more interested in the reeds they play, whether they use certain brands for certain types of music etc.
