I have 2 Selmers: plastic for marching and wooden for indoor performances. I
really like how both of them play. I've tried several Bundy's and they
really aren't *that* bad. The bottom F, F#, and E notes are definitely
different from Selmer, and it plays a little bright. I had the barrel out
pretty far. The worst is Yamaha, which is ironic, because they are one of
the most expensive. In the intermediate models, even the wooden ones sound
"plasticky" and not warm like Selmer clarinets. The only problem that I can
think of with my Selmer is that the one tube next to the A key as a screw
that's ALWAYS coming loose, but I'm guessing that's normal. You have to
tighten this one almost every day or else it's almost falling out.
