Alright, Jack, I'll play.

"If you take your playing seriously, never make a Bb soprano clarinet that's considerably older than you are your main horn (unless it's a Buffet R13 from 1960 or later or you are a (professional) jazz, klezmer or ethnic clarinetist who wants a big bore instrument or an Albert system."

I completely and utterly disagree. I've known professional players who used instruments (of more than one make) from the 1940s and 1950s for orchestral jobs, and sounded great when they did. It depends upon the horn and the player.

For the record, my clarinets were already legal drinking age by the time I was born. And oh the stories they can tell...

Down with age discrimination!

Up with bore size!
