Mr. Benoit's opinion notwithstanding, I have been thrilled to see all of the
questions and discussions here in the few days I've been lurking.

I'm a clarinet enthusiast who has recently decided to "make it legal" and, at
the ripe old age of 40, learn to play the instrument myself. I'm in a bit of
a financial bind at the moment, but yesterday a friend sold me her plastic
Vito 7212 student clarinet (a steal at $30; it's only a few years old),
which a repairman friend is refurbishing for me even as we speak. That is OK
for a start, but in a few months when I can better afford it I would like to
step up to a brand new wooden intermediate instrument; probably a Normandy 4
or Noblet 40. Whatever I get will definitely be a Leblanc instrument.

I hope beginners such as myself are welcome here to learn and to ask a
question or two. If not, just let me know and I will settle into lurkdom,
soaking up the knowledge and enjoying the conversation of the more
accomplished clarinetists.

Sincerely yours,

Stephanie Davis
Soon-to-be clarinetist :)
