So where is all the extra weight coming from? Do earlier wood clarinets weigh less because they are made of 1) less wood, 2) lighter wood or 3) lighter metal keys and metal rings or 4) for some other unstated reason? In the case of the Selmer Recital, the comparative heaviness most probably comes from the unusual thickness of the wooden walls at least in the top and bottom joints, and perhaps also in the barrel and bell. For each vintage model clarinet, how much of the weight is determined by one section of the clarinet only; for example, the bell, or the barrel that came with it? Mazzeo famously promoted a very thin, light-weight bell as an important component of his Mazzeo system clarinet. Of course, after-market barrels and bells, made of materials such as Delrin or ABS can noticeably lighten the weight of a wood instrument.
