The thing about a musical instrument is that it's not something where we
can just say "Go out and buy model X." Really you need to try out
multiple instruments and find one that suits you.

So, a good start would be for you to tell us where you live and how far
you're willing to travel to try out stuff, and we can recommend good
music shops who can help you directly.

Bear in mind that when you get your new clarinet, you'll probably also
want to get a new mouthpiece to get the most out of it...

Good luck!
