 Re: What makes for consistency

Talking about consistency, what if it is a deliberate choice to make a less consistent instrument? Nowadays many clarinetists prefer a very stable setup, that the sound quality is even and stays safely that way. And i am one of them.
Once upon a time i tested a Yamaha instrument in a concert hall and my wife was listening. We decided to do some blind testing. I played various excerpts with the Yamaha and my trusted Rc Prestige. My wife recognized every time which was which and liked the Buffet better.
But then i started to play the beginning of Debussy's Rhapsody. My wife got interested: "in this excerpt i like this Yamahas lighter and more transparent sound better!"
Only that i was playing with the Buffet...
