Re: "Ping" in clarinet sound

I did spectral studies of the clarinet back in the late 70's as a Physics lab project. I found that lower priced clarinets (e.g. Bundy and Noblet) had a tendency to overemphasis the 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 7th harmonics (partials) compared to a Selmer 10G and Buffet R-13.

The differences were clearly evident in the quality of the sound when playing the same notes or scales of the 4 clarinets since you had the fundamental tone and higher amplitudes in the higher harmonics with the better clarinets.

Unfortunately, my sample was limited to the 4 clarinets and 3 players; one beginner and two advanced college students (I was one of them).
