In the community where I live, wooden kids toys are considered the posh expensive ones, and the plastic ones are the cheap, throw-away, ones. It's only the rich parents that buy wooden toys.
In my own family we've found that the plastic toys fade and become brittle over time, while the wooden toys can be kept for generations.
The caveat with clarinets is that they get wet, which shortens their livespan. But if we dried them properly and looked after them then I think that would be less of a problem.
Sorry to bang on about it, but I like trees a lot. I think that if people here are prepared to hand over £2500 for what is effectively a 2 foot long wooden stick with holes in it then that's got to be good for the future of forestry.
