It's a nice documentary - thanks.

Regarding the sound difference between Harg playing on his Buffet and his boxwood period instruments, I doubt very much that we are hearing the effect of bore and material. The mouthpieces on these early period instruments are very different to modern French ones, with a smaller tip opening. It's a bit like traditional German mouthpieces, which just close up altogether if you approach them as if you were playing a Buffet. We all know that a change of mouthpiece can make a given clarinet sound very different - even just within the spectrum of Vandoren products. We must be talking about a much larger difference here.
