The Clarinet BBoard

Re: Limited edition Mopane Buffets

Author: Kalashnikirby  Date:   2021-07-20 01:43 I talked with a German instrument maker about this mopane situation once. He didn't in any way dislike the material, even went as far as to say he didn't find the differences too relevants, except that people didn't buy them as they expect a clarinet to be black. He did state that it was slightly softer, but couldn't say more about its durability. Mind you, he had these mopane models years ago, and the typical German clarinet buyer is pretty conservative, so that might explain the lacking sucess. It is rather mind-boggling that mopane is yet another reason to jack up prices (as do Schwenk and Seggelke and Uebel), but if you're "cool" and can stay relevant in today's market, that's probably easy to do. I stopped being mad about such issues though. Look at french horns and what big names like Alexander can charge. Simply insane. There's still alternatives, anyways Best regards Christian
