I was wondering since there are so knowledgeable people, I could ask for an
opinion of which clarinet I should purchase as my second instrument. I
started out playing approximatley 18 months ago, with a second hand plastic
instrument. I was thinking perhaps a Buffet R13, however wondering if an
E11 is also a reasonable quality instrument. Would love to hear some views.

Cheers,

Ellie
