instrument you can find for the money you want to spend. You might want to
rent an intermediate level instrument for a few months. A good mouthpiece
is probably more important than the instrument and you might want to find
one you really like before you do serious instrument shopping.

Where are you? Maybe someone will have some suggestions on where to look.

I'm in Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC. I plan to go to the Washington
Music Center in Wheaton. The owner has a number of used clarinets, and is
willing to work with me on what to get.

Any other suggestions also welcome.
Thanks to everyone, Ravel
