Ideal Outdoors Instrument

So for those who want to suggest an ideal "marching/christnas-caroling" clarinet. I take it it'd be a Selmer 1400B, Buffet composite or Greenline type, or a Backun student model. Get a fantastic mouthpiece for the individual that's suitable for plastic reeds, because we don't waste our good cane reeds for outdoor events. Perhaps get the Behn barrel and bell since those would probably be better than what came with the stock instrument anyway. The rod rubber wouldn't be harmed by harsher climates too.

Aftermarket barrels and bells don't always work of course; they aren't always "made for the instrument". That's my idea of a perfect outdoors soprano clarinet. Any student bass clarinet would be fine I'm sure; perhaps if you're willing you could find an instrument maker that could custom build a higjer quality neck and bell that'll fit your instrument.

How about you? Wjat's your idea of the "perfect outside clarinet?
