 Re: Don't like the sound of American clarinet

I won't join to the dicsussion about who are/were the greatest players etc for it makes no sense, and it's a fruitless dispute.

However, one thing was always a mistery to me. With todays's technology, knowledge, precision of measuring and manufacture, the accuracy of 3d scan, CNC machines with near 0.001mm tolerancy we must have better* equipments than ever before. Still, if you are listening to Bonade, Wright, Mc Lane, Magnani, Cahuzac etc. you just don't find this quality nowdays. There are a few possibilities.

1. Equipment is not better today despite of all the efforts and technology.

2. Clarienttists are not better today if they can't produce the same quality (even with better equipment) as great ones of the past.

3. The aforementioned players would be the best ones among today's stars if they were living now. No matter of equipment.

4. I'm totally wrong with this thought process.
