Making clarinets and selling them is Tom's business, and you shouldn't publish videos that are detrimental to someone else's business. You say that you don't know the difference between a hard rubber clarinet and a plastic one. What makes you qualified to judge the Ridenour clarinet when you don't even know what it is made of? You are returning the instrument, what message does that send?
You could use the same argument for any review- music, movies, cars, appliances, etc. Maybe Consumer Reports should only publish positive reviews. I would rather honest, truthful assessment.
I don't believe that not knowing the material hurts his review. As to what makes him qualified- Michael is an extremely talented great musician who publishes very thoughtful reviews and helpful videos. He has very valid opinions.
He is returning the instrument because he obtained it to do a review. As he stated at the beginning, he was unable to get one from Ridenour.
As with any review, you can take his opinion or ignore it, but he does give food for thought and ends with an enthusiastic thumbs up.
