I was there, I have to say that the level of design and craftsmanship available these days is stunning, and we should be thankful to the people who invent this amazing stuff, not demonizing them. It's technological advancement and the advancements made here will trickle into all levels of products given time and demand.
If people want to buy 1300$ ligatures, let them. Why not have a diamond laden solid gold ligature if you can afford it? Live and let live! All this tells us is that the clarinet as an instrument is gaining market share and prominence.
Should Lamborghini and Ferrari stop making high end, expensive, over-the-top vehicles simply because one can get by with a Toyota Corolla?
It's worth mentioning that every single manufacturer that I found had reasonably priced products being sold there alongside their premium lines. All levels and budgets are being accounted for, and in my opinion it's healthy.
ClarinetFest was an absolute pleasure, and I for one am impressed by the vendors and their passion for their craft as much as the artists.
