Re: Why are student clarinets easier to play?

A good student instrument (like the B12) is designed and built for a student that hasn't yet developed a firm air support and good embouchure. It should be easy to blow with low resistance.

However, a typical student clarinet lacks resonance and tonal depth that can be found in a professional clarinet. Some professional clarinets do need a good embouchure and good air support to achieve the higher level they were designed for and are actually more difficult to play for a student.
