Re: Why arent plastic clarinets made with wooden dimensions?

My understanding is that a mold is mfgr'd in order to produce many plastic clarinets where each wooden clarinet would have to be machined individually.

A wood clarinet requires more care than ABS plastics. The Buffet Greenline is composed of a mixture of grenadilla chips and other resins which can be mfgr'd less expensively than a clarinet machined from grenadila wood.

A wood clarinet hasnt proved to be that superior in tone and is a matter of taste and talent. Clarinets were originally made from wood before plastics came into production. It may be time to turn the corner as plastic mixtures become more and more superior. IMO a plastic clarinet could be mfgr'd with what ever tolerances are specified.
