Stan, IME no matter how good a pickup is, it doesn't sound the same as a good microphone in a good position (at least with what's available now). For "regular" recordings and some live concerts I use microphones (whatever the sound engineer bring). Sometimes two microphones. For recordings usually condensers and for live usually dynamics. I have a few clip on clarinet mics (AMT double mic and a couple of single mics) but most of the time prefer not to use them.

I use the pickup whenever I use effect pedals, when the sound doesn't matter in that way (e.g. really loud rock/electronic) or when nothing else would work (feedback, volume, etc.). I don't use it for recordings unless I use effects or it's a live recording of something that requires the pickup anyway.

I have a TAP and re choosing by trying the different models... unless you're there it's not really posssible. I just chose/gambled based on the short samples on their website, all of which sound significantly different from when I use mine BTW.

On a soprano clarinet I don't have the problem that Ralph mentioned of some notes being louder, at least not enoguh to cause an issue at all. On bass clarinet some notes are a litte different, mostly in the lower range below the soprano clarinet range. It still works fine and I use it mostly on a bass clarinet.

Any pickup would have more key noise but sometimes this is an advantage and I use it on purpose for the music.

>> You will need a piece of threaded tube silver-soldered to your neck to accept a pickup, which can be replaced with a small bolt when not in use. Poster "clarnibass" here has done that. <<

I wouldn't silver solder it. I actually made a plastic tube and epoxied it to the neck, but if soldering I would use regular soft solder or silver/tin (leadless) soft solder.
