I don’t know nothing from nothing, but it seems the clarinet is the hardest instrument to master. Growing up I never understood why it was the first instrument given to children that wanted to play music. Yikes! In the hands of children those “wrong” notes leave a lasting impression! Now I understand that even master musicians really have to tame the wildness of the clarinet. Even today I hear players who just can’t attain a warm tone. That is not true of any of the other clarinets. The clarinet is an enigma! ✌️

Agreed Dr K, I’m an anomaly on clarinet, as many if not most relate to the clarinet technically, my connection is spiritual
