I think it's more a matter that people don't see the need to afford the Opus, so long as it offers no clear advantage over less expensive instruments.

As has been remarked many times on this site, clarinets are much cheaper than most instruments. Even when you factor in the need to buy a pair rather than one, they are competitive. German instruments are already much more expensive than Boehm; there is no reason why a premium priced ($10000 or whatever) instrument should not be successful, provided it is demonstrably better.

There have been various comments on this site over the years to the effect that the top German instruments are better (to some people's ears anyway) than the top Boehms. Nobody has ever managed to answer the obvious question as to whether this is because the German design is intrinsically better, or simply because they cost twice as much so of course they are better. Perhaps Backun/Leblanc will finally answer that question.

If there are so many people on this board unwilling or unable to have a civil and balanced discussion about important issues, then I shan't bother to post here any more.

To the great relief of many of you, no doubt.
