 Re: Bake-lite Clarinet ??????

Bundy plastic clarinets have been made of "Resonite" since at least the 1950s. Bakelite has a slightly dull surface, while Resonite is shiny. If the auction instrument is shiny, it's undoubtedly Resonite, and the seller is an idiot.

By the way, I've played many Dolmetsch Bakelite recorders, and they don't have a bright sound at all. The sound is smooth and fairly soft. Also, I think maple and the tropical woods are harder than Bakelite, which you can scratch with your thumbnail.
