I'm not playing sides - who's right or wrong here or if there is any difference at all. Play testing some recent buffets, for me the nickel plated horns seem to play a bit better regarding the sound. It could be one of those goofy quirks we all have or the selection of clarinets I tried.

A topic of conversation could include the vibration of the whole clarinet. For example if a clarinet weighs 10 pounds and another weighs 1 pound the sound difference would be easy to hear. So perhaps the weight of the metal keys makes a very slight difference in vibration, detected by some players.
