 Re: Libertas with Cocobolo Barrel and/or Bell

If "synthetic clarinets" are less resonant or have a "hollowish sound," how is it that there are so many professionals playing the Libertas? Also, if these clarinets have such sub-standard abilities, why would the players of the Libertas be winning major clarinet contests across the USA?

Yes, I do play a Ridenour Lyrique Libertas, and I have had nothing but sincere compliments from many clarinetists in my area, all of whom are astounded at the tonal qualities of the instrument.

Honestly, I wouldn't consider trying an aftermarket bell or barrel on my instrument, as I know that the acoustical properties of the entire clarinet were designed by one of the greatest acoustics engineers extant.
