Re: The clarinet catch can?

I must confess to a degree of hypocrisy. While I talk about this gear here, when students engage me in such dialogue I'm likely to retort, tongue-in-cheek "I have gear that's guaranteed to work better for you than this," whatever "this" is.

I then proceed to open Bearmann III (the gear here) to a certain page and say with a smile and wink, "practice this until you play it flawlessly at 110 bps."

Well, it's really not hypocrisy because unlike the student, I already know that the best gear is an etude book. Of course this is predicated on the player first having a good (if not the finest) functioning setup, and that some on the bboard are already outstanding players seeking the marginal improvement in play that such nuanced gear like that of this thread might afford.
