Re: Sticks-n-Stones & Chasing away Pros

I think we can all rest assure clarinet pros aren't getting endorsements deals like Shaq or Tiger. I know I haven't received a new Tag Heuer or a case of Gold Bond. But I'm a small fish in a smaller pond.

I agree there's nothing nefarious going on - not sure I'd care one way or the other. Pros have put in the practice time and have given brilliant performances. If they get a free ligature or a bigger room at the Marriott for their effort, good for them.

Equipment seekers are always going to be in the market...they feed the market, the market provides. (Insert USA chant here). I know driving the "figurative sports car" hasn't improved my sex appeal. I doubt a 'murdered' out clarinet is going to make anyone play any better. An educated consumer has realize this in their own time.

I'm sure all agree that a student should spend their money on Baermann III and various etudes books and start practicing. But if I had a student that could afford a Buffet Legende with cool Silverstein Maestro Ligature on a Behn Epic mouthpiece, more power to them. Others seem to do just as well on a beautiful, used Ridenour, Giardinelli Clarinet Ligature, and a Behn Overature.
