What makes a wood clarinet better than a plastic one?
A. The tone of a wood clarinet is much deeper and richer than the “thin” sound of a plastic clarinet. The characteristics of wood also allow your notes to be played more “in control”, reducing the chance of playing out of tune. Durability is also a factor. Believe it or not, if you drop a plastic clarinet, you are more likely to come away with a crack than with a wood clarinet.
