I think that the 'ping and zing' thing isn't just a function of the instrument itself, but the mouthpiece and barrel as well. On my grenadilla MoBa, the Behn Epic HCV is superb. It's the most responsive and projecting of all the mouthpieces I own, but the MoBa tempers it a bit. I just performed Frank Bridge's Meditation for a chapel service last week on it and it's a fabulous solo instrument. On my Yamaha CSG's which I bring with me to orchestra, it's a little too much (especially on the Bb), so I'm using an old Chedeville blank refaced by Thomas Carroll, which gives a nice shape and balance. I tried the BD5 recently, and on the MoBa it's really too dampened for my tastes, but on Yamaha it's a nice match.

I love the fact that Backun keeps coming up with new clarinets, pushing the envelope with materials and technology. It's good for everyone in the industry.
