When I started orchestral playing, I used a borrowed A of a different brand for two years. There was a minor adjustment to the larger size of the A, but it was unrelated to having unmatched brands. When I bought my first
A, it was the same brand, but different model, still without any issues. I presently have a matched set because I prefer that make and model not out of any need for marching.
That said, although my family owns five different Bb clarinets from four different brands (including plastic), there is one I just don't like. Although it is a professional quality instrument, the tone hole placement and keywork feel too different from the others. My take away lesson, is that the instruments don't need to match, but they shouldn't be drastically different.
