The bias of some players and teachers is very strong. I think they believe they are using their best judgement, but the bias is too strong in them. There are TONS of band directors who still think plastic reeds are TERRIBLE, and should never be used by anyone for any reason. When you tell them that world class players - principals of major orchestras - are using them, they just think you're lying, or are mistaken. Sad.
I would be interested to hear the same teachers' response if they heard their student playing different instruments, but didn't know which one was which. My guess is that the Ridenour horns would fair much better overall than they do when teachers know their students are playing an "off brand".
BTW, I have no affiliation with Ridenour - I do have a Ridenour Bb, A, and C clarinet, and have bought a couple of basses for my band. But I have other clarinets, too, and use different instruments for different venues/types of music. I have no quarrel with anyone who chooses brand loyalty to an instrument maker, so long as they keep an open mind and are willing to re-adjust their opinions as new instrument making techniques and materials warrant them. I was in the Buffet "mafia" for most of my life, and have played some truly great Buffet clarinets. They're not my particular cup of tea these days - I prefer the instruments coming from Backun, Ridenour, and Yamaha. But I hope I maintain an open mind, and would never "force" a brand on a student.
