My instructor and I actually had a long discussion about my clarinet. It's
a good clarinet, but we both felt like that I've "outgrown" it. The
particular instrument that I have does not respond well at all, and I have
tried different mouthpieces testing this. The Concerto is a fine
instrument, but it's not for me. I'm keeping my options open. I would like
to try as many clarinets as I can until I find the right one. I was just
curious if I can tell what type of metal my keys are, either nickel or
silver.
