How's about an e-Clarinet?

I better define that product first.

It's not an electronic clarinet, but my name for a soundproof enclosure for the clarinet that's a variation of Best Brass' actual e-Sax product....which some of you are familiar with. It ties into my recent attempts to DIY a clarinet mute: none of which yet are much "to write home about."

I was wondering about both the logistics and business case for designing such an item. It makes me wonder what might be different about muting a clarinet with a similar sound absorbing case approach and whether best brass feels the saxophone is more in need of muting (I know some clarinet players who can really play loud,) or more consumers play the saxophone than the clarinet.

Maybe it's just as simple as its inventor was a sax player.

What obstacles do you think such a product might uniquely run into that a saxophone muting case wouldn't. I'm not coming up with any at the moment except maybe that the (Soprano) clarinet has the ability to player higher pitched notes..........
