Unless you are playing full time in a paid position, they are a waste
of money (the C Clarinet).
There isn't one Orchestra anywhere in the states that will require you
to have one when auditioning. Nice to have to add to your collection,
and you can fell all proud that you are playing what the composer
specified, but in all practical applications, spend your $$$ on a good
A and Bb first and foremost. Even get an Eb and a Bass before getting
a C and you will increase your chances of getting gigs.
(unless you are playing with Dan L., then you damn well better have a
C ;)
