Subj: The Clarinet For a Late Starter
Date: Wed, 3 May 1995 11:59:11 -0400

I'm a late starter, too. And I chose the clarinet because I always
thought it had the loveliest tone of any instrument. It's the best reason
I know for selecting an instrument to play.

If you want to learn from my experience, take this advice: rent a student
clarinet and practice on it for a few months. Then rent a professional
horn and play it for a few months. Then try another model pro instrument.
When you've found a professional instrument you like, buy a new one.

I would recommend buying a Buffet R13 when you're ready. It's a lovely
instrument. But the best reason for getting one, besides its incredible
sound and mechanisms, is that you can sell it used easily. The R13 is the
most popular professional instrument, so there's a wide market for it.

Welcome to the fraternity.
