Re: Why are student clarinets easier to play?

As a player, I feel my Buffet R13s have over decades, played as easy as the student models I've had. And with much better tone.
As a retired Band Director who taught 1977-1996, I noticed in the latter of those years beginning student clarinets (Yamaha and others) were of much better quality than 20 years before. And they didn't break down as easy due to student abuse. I keep a student Selmer under my chair when playing concerts, just in case my Buffet loses a pad or busts a spring.
