I have often wondered this myself. I have a buffet-crampton that was my dad's. He bought it sometime in the late 50's or early 60's. One of the teachers in our band looked at it one day and said, rather distastefully, it's a typical beginner model. Since then I wondered if I should get a new clarinet. It is made of wood and I have never had any trouble with it that I haven't caused. The other interesting thing I noticed is it is almost always in perfect tune with the electric tuner. I'm not the best in our band and after reading all the posts I can't help but wonder if maybe it some of my problems have to do with the clarinet.
