Try the Yamaha Custom eefer. I work in a music store in Modesto, CA. Our rep is
a clarinettist. He brought one into the shop for me to try. It sure is nice. He
says it's the nicest one he's ever played. I took it to a rehearsal and was very
much impressed. It's for sale if anyone's interested, just let me know.
