Well, as someone who's just been through the clarinet-buying process (for a new
A), here's what I think: you have to find an instrument that *you* love. People
will have all sorts of opinions about which brand and model are "the best," but
you need to try out many different kinds to find what's right for you.

I tried about three dozen instruments of various models before I settled on a
Buffet R-13.

Look around, try out as many instruments as you can, and when you've narrowed it
down to the ones you like best, take them to your teacher (or someone else whose
knowledge you trust) and get their opinion.

I hope this helps. Good luck in your search!
