When I was shopping for a wooden clarinet, I tried out some new plastic
clarinets. Buffet makes a plastic clarinet that looks nearly identical to the
E11. I was amazed at how well it played--I'm probably going to buy one so I
have something I can take on trips that would be rough on a wood clarinet--two
weeks of white water rafting, that kind of thing. The tone was certainly less
vibrant, especially in the lower register and when playing softly, but it was
only about $350, which struck me as an incredibly reasonable price for a very
playable, brand new piece of equipment.
