I bought my Prestige D for $2300. Where did you get the $5000 figure?
List price?
The D Clarinet has a different sound than the Eb clarinet......but, to
match as closely as possible with a non-D clarinet, I guess Eb would be
the next best thing....except perhaps, a C clarinet? but then you are
playing in the altissimo too often.
