Dirk,

My 2 cents' worth is that you should buy a decent used wood clarinet to
start with. If you are planning on finding a teacher (good idea), why
not find the teacher first and have the teacher assist in selecting an
instrument in your price range? The only reason I can see for using
plastic clarinets for beginners is if the beginners are children and not
ready to be entrusted with the care of a more delicate and valuable
wooden instrument. I am convinced that the wooden instruments in
general give a superior sound (Dan?), and that is important
encouragement for an adult beginner. Good luck!

Nancy
