Rick--

While this request is great for stirring discussion and debate on the Klarinet
List, it is FOOLISH and STUPID for you to base a decision on which clarinet to
purchase based on the list's input.

First, we as list members can only give you our opinion. There is no right or
wrong answer. Many of us may prefer one make and/or model over another, but in
many cases for different reasons.

Second and MOST IMPORTANT, it is your daughter that plays clarinet--and NOT you.
She should be trying out different makes and models, and find one that she is
comfortable with, and meets her criteria--with assistance from her teacher.

Obviously, you have budget constraints, and that is the one LEGITIMATE factor
that may impact which make and model is selected.
