Thanks Dan for the enlightenment, but I am not as ignorant as you might
think. Graduate school and medical emergencies have left me in a
position where I simply do not have too many funds. I AM completely
AWARE af all those things which you mentioned. Some of us, however,
simply are strapped. I guess that I should have been more SPECIFIC, and
said that I would like a bass clarinet NOW simply because I need to
prepare for my FIRST big outing into the professional world. And of
course, I should have stated that once I marry a rich man, or get a hold
of my financial situation, I might have the intelligence and capability
with which to purchase a better one.

Sorry if I found your reply offensive. I do know, oh, at least one or two
professional clarinet players who hold symphony jobs playing bass and they
did advise me in this direction, because they understand my situation.

If you have anything else to say on this matter, I would appreciate if
you would contact me directly.
