Chris,
Very nice workmanship!
Did you play the clarinet and, if yes, what was your opinion of it?
I would trust an opinion of a seasoned player regarding a particular instrument, but without knowing how well your customer plays, I don't know if his opinion can be trusted.
I do believe that there are probably "bad" Toscas and Signatures, but my limited experience is that student clarinets are what they are and do not compare favorably to older professional instruments (in decent shape).
Again, there are multiple qualities of an instrument that could change from using a different MP or a ligature.
