<><> The Internet is a great method for buying a clarinet, either
new or used.

Ooooh !!!!! It doesn't sound as if Kimber plans to buy anything
immediately, but may I offer my warning to Kimber?

Don't buy anything --- new or used, wood or plastic, name brand or
unknown brand, cheap or expensive --- until you have played it yourself
on a least two or three separate days. Yes, grownups do 'wild' things
and take chances some times, but surely not a sober-minded young lady
such as Kimber.

Cheers,
Bill (the curmudgeon, today)

If I had Stadler's mouthpiece, would I play better? Or do I need his
ligature also? Or perhaps he and I are different persons? If I had
Mozart's pen, would I compose better?
