Re: Good sound is a matter of money

Of course the instrument is not the perfomance- I certainly didn't say that, and I don't think that was the OPs intention either.
However, the quality of the instrument/mouthpiece/reed/etc and how they fit or do not fit with the player *does* make a difference.
Growing up with not so much money, getting a good instrument was a challenge, and (as you know from your work in repair) low quality instruments do not hold repair very long. This ultimately makes a difference in the *potential* quality of performance.
A plastic clarinet in good condition can play great, but the repair and maintenance is a financial factor, too. Also, the keys on that plastic instrument were probably not made with AS good metal AS a more expensive instrument. So even if someone repairs it and it plays great today, it probably won't be that good in a few weeks of heavy practice.
