David-
I have tried a few Yamaha clarinets, but I honestly prefer my Buffet to
anything I have tried recently. But, buying a clarinet is a totally individual
thing. Listen to other people's opinions, but try the clarinet yourself and
make a decision on whether or not you like the way it plays and if you could
be happy playing that instrument for as long as you need.
Best wishes.
