Both the Selmer (Bundy) and Leblanc (Vito) student plastic instruments
should be suitable for your concert. Go ahead rent one of these. You may
however find that you want to purchase a mouthpiece if the stock one does
not suit you.

Give yourself plenty of time to practice. The altissimo notes do require
some work to get into tune.
