I've been thinking about some clarinet products that some people might consider a sham or make false claims...
I won't name any specific brands, but some general examples are companies that claim barrels/bells make a huge difference in sound or ligatures that claim to create a "dark, rich, and warm" sound.
Any thoughts on this? I feel like to an extent such products can make some degree of difference, but I think it's mostly on a personal level; a placebo of sorts.
From personal experience, when I was trying out different barrels made of different woods, the way the manufacturer described the sound qualities of the woods impacted how I heard it, but when recorded there was no difference in sound (not a bad thing; meant I didn't have to spend money!). Which is why I came to the conclusion that these types of products make minimal differences, but it's different for everyone! Again, please let me know your thoughts.
