After playing the clarinet for too many years I find that I prefer the
A Clarinet over the B Flat clarinet for several reasons , most of all the
tonal quality. Also after all this time, which includes transposing C
clarinet parts, I ran into and bought a C clarinet. I can't stand it.
Rather transpose.
