So my question : is there really a beginner, intermediate and PRO 'setup', or do we ALL benifit from the same 'strategy' ?
Is the 'beginner setup' a financial issue, do you think the PRO setup is too expensive, even if it would be technically the best solutiion ?

I don't think there's a big difference in pro/intermediate/beginner setups. I believe it has mostly to do with your ability as a player. While I will certainly be able to tell a difference between a bad beginner's clarinet and a good professional clarinet, I'm thinking that the equipment is a very small percentage of how you sound, and it's mostly how well you USE that equipment.

I don't really think that even though a 'professional' setup is more expensive that it would be any type of solution. I've played some horns that were VERY inexpensive (when compared to your typical 'pro' instruments) and I liked them much more than those expensive pro ones. It's more the player.
