Re: Is this any way to ship a clarinet?

I made a quick inquiry to Tom. He said, "The 576 was based in large part on the acoustics of the VSP. But like all the clarinets I've designed in hard rubber, the hard rubber came out superior to the wood clarinet bearing an analogous acoustical design. In addition, you are looking at quite an old clarinet now-- it's hard to believe but the VSP is about 25 years old, and wood can change quite a bit."

So looks like this VSP is what it is- reasonably good for its time, but the science has moved on for those who know what to look for.

Kind of off the original topic of how to pack and ship clarinets, but that happens to a lot of threads.
