Re: Drucker playing a metal clarinet

David,

I had heard something to that effect.

Someone who is close to the source should ask him now that he has no horses in the race.

And I bet that from behind a screen, with a good mouthpiece and good reed, if the metal clarinet sealed well and had good action, not many of us would hear the difference in a sample size of 100 players.

Wooden flutes were the norm for a long time till about 1930. Now wood playing flute players are outcasts and metal rules that world.

Perhaps Backun should come out with a metal clarinet to go with the cocobula wood barrels that they sell. Get Riccardo to play on them.

And then all of us would be playing on metal clarinets by 2015.
