Re: Objective testing of resistance in clarinets

I suspect that closing all the tone holes and with a constant pressure forcing air down the bore of the clarinet and measuring the amount of air flow might be some meaningful data, but I don't think it tells at all how the clarinet plays or the subjective resistance each player experiences.

In addition, this varies with horn to horn (same model) and my subjective impression day to day changes. One day I'll swear my Ridenour clarinet has a little less resistance than my Yamaha, the the next day it reverses.

I'm about to add a R13 to my mix ... that will be interesting to compare ... but I know I may still have subjective fluctuations.

Tom
