Re: Golden Era

The part I find really funny is that back in the day, people would try a dozen clarinets to find "the one" because they were reputed to be inconsistent and many were supposedly dogs.

What ever happened to all of those? How is it that any instrument from that era is now great? Did the lousy ones get better over time, or were they all disposed of in a landfill or ground up to make greenline instruments?

Yes, there were some really fine instruments from that era, but I believe there are some really fine ones from any era. There are really nice ones being made today. There were certain great qualities to the old instruments and some things that make them desirable, but I still think that it all comes down to each individual instrument and one against another. I don't know that you can categorize all instruments from any time as the same.
