Whoa, dudes!
This isn't supposed to be about ad-instrumentum attacks on the clarinet (or oboe).
As John Mack's father might have said, they are both just inanimate objects. It stands to reason that any given person might prefer one over the other, for a variety of reasons that may NOT have much to do with the instrument/its capabilities/limitations itself.
I was simply struck by how many current oboists are former clarinetists, and that a discernible number of these folks -- myself included -- are much happier as oboists than they were as clarinetists.
It has nothing at all to do with the "superiority" of one instrument or the other. It has everthing to do with the "fit" between player and instrument.
