It is not necessary to have A & Bb clarinets from the same make & model. It is more important to have two clarinets that play with similar resistance and accoustics. The only real advantage in having a same make and model set of clarinets is that the keywork will more likely match and switching may be less of a hassel. However, I have never found that to be a big deal as my fingers have always been quick to adapt to any new keyboard, especially after having the little finger keys bent into similar positions. I am not lucky to have a set of Buffet R13s and a set of Leblanc Concertos that have almost identical resistance and tuning tendencies. I could very well play with any make-model configuration although I am currently favoring the Buffets. Similar playing resistance and tuning tendecies are of far greater importance than simply a match of make & model--even Buffet Prestige models.
