Subj: [kl] Is Lisner any good?

Hi

As a beginner, I found it very difficult to decide which clarinet to
purchase. Should one get an established brand (and what is "established?")
or go for the cheapest, secondhand model. I went for the latter and
purchased a used plastic Lisner with a Ricco mouthpiece - a total of $98. At
the same time. there were used clarinets up to $5000. To me they looked
identical save for a few embelishments. No doubt the tone is different but
is that important for someone who is just beginning and still trying to
learn where to put the fingers?
