<<Clarinets COULD be made out of tempered, nearly unbreakable glass. some <<flutes have been produced from glass and they sound beautiful.

Liquidmetal is very rigid, has excellent corrosion resistance, has good appearance, low density for a metal, high rigidity, Almost certainly tougher for its weight than toughened glass (having twice the strength of titanium), AND I read that it can come out of a mold so accurately that molded scalpel blades do not need sharpening. AND the molding can be done at quite a low temperature, likened to molding plastic rather than metal, hence cheap?

I believe it is being used for some high spec mobile phone cases.

And wonderful for marketers, this property: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOEBR3DcqN0 . That could so easily be advertised as a beneficial acoustic property. (It could be plausibly advertised that very little sound energy is absorbed into the tube wall. Less acoustic loss. outstandingly reflective surface for the sound waves..... You could make up ANYTHING and it would likely be believed.

Donald, how about getting one of your innovative associates to work on this. If a clarinet body is too much, how about a mouthpiece for a kick-off.
