Those dang clarinet students. Sometimes, they're all like "Oh, I'm not good because I play a stock mouthpiece on a student instrument. UGH!", "My ligature's dampening my reed, that's why I sound bad", and "Benny Goodman & Martin Frost sound great because they play a Buffet; Eddie Daniels & Richardo play Backun, that's why they sound good". The list goes on...
I have to ask though, can they even play one Gavotte? How about Hot Cross Buns? Can they even play "To a Wild Rose" without adding extra notes, also displaying some level of lyricism? No? It's not the equipment; they need to be honest with themselves, do a phone recording and honestly judge the recording and quit being babies. This video says it all.
Good equipment is helpful, if you can afford it then by all means. Good equipment, however, does not compensate for bad technique and intonation. This sort've thing I'm sure is common knowledge here, but I thought it'd be funny to share.
