Re: Sham products?

The other way to say that is.......MARKETING

or

BRANDING

There have been some products that have come and gone mostly because (I assume) they don't work and clarinetists just don't buy them. I was looking for a product recently that someone identified on the Board that was supposed to be a plaque you place between reed and mouthpiece to change the response and strength characteristics. Also there was a series of buttons (different product) that I wound up with that you place at various points along the inside surface of the reed to aid resonance (did not work for me). Neither I would guess worked as described; neither are currently available.

Ooooo, there was also an Accubore clarinet barrel that had a square shaped bore (literally square). I don't think Accubore (though they had aluminum barrels of decent repute) exists anymore.

Might be fun to list products like that others remember.
