How come violinists believe that violins get better with time, and that the best violins were made 250 years ago but clarinetists believe that after a decade or so, the instrument is blown out. A certain Strad may sell for 50 million even after more than two centuries but a Buffet R13 is most highly valued the day it leaves the factory. Two decades later it's worth a quarter of it's former value. I just watched a public tv show about the Guarneri and Stradavarius. We have no such ravings about instruments made even pre WW11.
