Subj: Plastic E-flat clarinets
Date: Thu, 24 Apr 1997 20:09:15 -0400

Having heard other people's recommendations and once played on a Bundy
E-flat clarinet which was well in tune, I am wondering if anyone has
noticed the same/had success with these instruments? Yes these
instruments are plastic, and were relatively inexpensive. Although I'm
not sure I would assume that with the Bundy clarinet line no longer being
available (now known as simply Selmer), I am wondering if this also
translates over into E-flat clarinets, bass clarinets, etc. Surely if
they play decently intune, they wouldn't be a bad purchase for a
band/band director where players weren't overly advanced. . .

I'm not in the market to buy the one Fred J. is selling, as I play an RC
myself. I will highly recommend trying the two top line E-flats that
Yamaha makes. . .the 881 Custom and the 681 Professional. . .just another
2 cents.
