OLD VS NEW
In your search for the perfect clarinet you will also come across someone that will tell you (especially if from a classical band ) that the while the string instruments age well and gain the value the opposite will hold for the wind instruments.
A classical player will always need an instrument in perfect tune...something that behaves well and predictably and repeatedly!. That requirement results in instruments with heavy keywork! Which is also one of the reasons the albert clarinets are out of favor in orchestras.
You will find that the argument will turn into something clearly subjective on the sound each one prefers!
From my experience by trying many old instruments I have found that the old ones have more character in their sound where the new ones are becoming so standardized that they tend to sound the same!
