Selmer's lower end stuff is done in all natural cork, so I often replace certain materials on a brand new horn. I see them used on high-end Selmer and Buffet products, but few factories use them. However, these products are more expensive and often only available from boutique suppliers, rather than the primary instrument-repair supply companies. Natural cork tends to permanently compress over time, and is easily chipped away and broken up, whereas products like tech-cork, laminate cork, certain hard foams, or synthetic felt is much more stable over time doesn't chip/tear as easily. For example, adjustment corks, most notably bridge corks. Often, manufacturers and repairers alike use cheaper adjustment materials.

Generally I find this to be true as well, but not due to the construction of the keywork. It has always seemed like the student models of all these brands come out of adjustment much quicker and easier They are proof these instruments can play well, but you get what you pay for to an extent, and it is easier the more you are willing to spend (price to performance isn't always a perfect match though). The player has to work way harder to make it work, and that is often not clear to the listener. The top players asked to do advertisements for brands like that can make almost any functional instrument sound good and adjust on the fly to intonation.

Most people will say wood produces a better tone, but there are fine sounding rubber, greenline, carbon fiber, metal, and plastic instruments.ĭo not trust hearing a professional play a student instrument to decide what to get. Wood instruments usually have more effort put into their making than plastic (due to cost of labor) so it is very hard to separate what advantages in wooden clarinets come from better overall making of the instrument versus what is just the material of the body. Most quality professional instruments are made of wood. It can be harder to control your sound into something beautiful with student horns. Resistance gives control to the player (as long as it is within reason). Often the professional horns are designed to have a bit more resistance. There is less consistency in student horns. You may find that one note is very stuffy sounding and the note right next to it pops out incredibly brightly. This isn't a big deal if you are playing alone, but it can be very frustrating when you are playing with others or doing multitrack work. Student models generally are less even in terms of intonation. You'll be at the repair shop for repairs more often if you aren't careful with it.

It's much easier to bend the keys on student clarinets, even just storing them in the case it comes with sometimes will bend the keys. The main disadvantages with student clarinets are:
