Bob, I found it interesting when you mentioned Julian Bliss using a Bliss clarinet. David, you said he isn't using a "Bliss out of the box clarinet." If his clarinet isn't an "out of the box" model, what changes did he make? Perhaps another barrel?
When the Bliss first came out, it created quite a bit of excitement on this board. In the last few years, there hasn't been as much about them.
Several years ago I tried one and was impressed. The one I played had some minor imperfections in the wood, but the sound was nice. Dave Kessler wrote about them in 2012, and thought a MoBa barrel did wonders for them.

The Bliss mouthpiece isn't bad. Perhaps it's not for everyone, but I once had a student who used V-12s with them and got a great sound.
I think Bob's basic point is a good one. Some musicians might prefer to use more expensive equipment, and that's fine. Still, it is possible to play a Bliss (perhaps with a different mouthpiece and/or barrel) and get great results.
