The wood is dead even before it is made into the clarinet. Grenadilla is aged (atleast used to be, when the supply was plentiful) a few years before even being bored or cut. If someone can afford to buy new clarinets every couple of years or so, more power to them. But they're simply waisting money unless they are buying a new clarinet of a different make or model that they found they liked better. And while it's good for those of us who buy second hand instruments, people who sell their used ones and buy new ones so often end up asking more than most people are willing to pay for a used horn; even if it's only 2-3 years old.
