I think to call it a piece of junk is slightly harsh, but they are a bit
old now and it will probably be a bit noisy as it has barrel type screws.
They were the first in the range of B&H wooden clarinets, equivalent to the
E11 now. Over here they fetch the equivalent of about $300.
If I had to choose between that and a Bundy, I think I would choose the
Edgware, but if they were the only choices I would not be writing this, as
I would have given up interest in the clarinet long ago!
