As is the case with the purchase of a clarinet, its not the brand you
should consider, its the horn. If its right for you, buy it, whomever has

years, go with it! Mine is 34 years old and plays beautifully. To quote
the man who did the last overhaul for me, "that's a good piece of wood you
have there!"
