You can avoid all the above when you buy a Patricola. With the =
exception of the shape of the keywork, which won't be suitable for all =
hands, Patricola clarinets are the best bargain on the market. And true =
to my statement a few years ago when I bought mine, the prices are =
rising. As more and more people find these clarinets, I hear so many =
positive comments about them. I think Kelly knows what I am saying - he =
bought one himself. I can't think of any clarinet maker who has created =
such a quality instrument in such a short amount of time and at a =
reasonable price. And their service is excellent, too.
