Crikey, I hadn't thought of that.

Is there any significant movement in the clarinet community to say "enough is enough" and to walk away from using solid wood clarinets entirely? It seems as though there should be.

I mean presumably if we all said we refused to buy solid wood clarinets any more then the manufacturers would be able to switch their R&D entirely to greenline type materials, and then they'd get really good alternatives much more quickly.

The other possibilities I suppose, is that carbon pricing will be introduced and the price of solid wood clarinets will go through the roof. But I worry that then solid wood clarinets will be like ivory, with people harvesting the wood illegally to avoid the carbon pricing.
