 The advantages and drawbacks of a one-piece clarinet.

I can only think of one clarinet maker that makes the bottom and top body in one long body: Mr. Luigi Rossi. The drawbacks: if the bore cracks somewhere it might be hard to repair because difficult to reach. Maybe this long body would also tend to warp more. The advantage(s): As you don't have a corked joint between the two bodies damping the pressure waves, they should travel faster and more smoothly making for better response. I suggested once to Tom Ridenour to make a one piece-clarinet with top and bottom body plus bell all of a piece. When dealing with a synthetic material, I don't see why this wouldn't be possible. I seem to recall metal clarinets were all of a piece except for the barrel because of tuning. Your thoughts on the matter, please. I would especially like to hear from Rossi players.
