Mixed Quiver

It is finally time to put that A clarinet into my double case and get really serious about bribing a string quartet to go to work with me on the Mozart 5tet.

So, I've got a pretty good Buffet RC Bb and thinking that it might be good to get an RC A. Two of those have just been snatched away from me as I was reaching for them.

After 4-years with the RC, I've can pretty well know how to treat the next note for timbre, loudness and pitch; and I think it would be helpful if my mew A would behave the same way.

My question: Is there a disadvantage to having different makes and models of Bb and A clarinets?

One of my colleagues has a Selmer 9 and a Yamaha something-or-other, another has a couple of "selected and fiddled" Buffets, as does another.

What about putting a stinky rubber horn in the box with the RC?
