Hi Everyone,

My 30+-year old "Selmer Signet Soloist" clarinet is unfortunately
reaching the
end of it's run, and I am looking to replace it with a good
intermediate-level
instrument.? I am an amateur player of 35 years and I play regularly in
a
community symphonic band.? I love playing clarinet and I want an
instrument that
will be easy to play and sound good, but I can't afford to?break the
bank on it
either.??Whatever I get, I'll?probably be keeping it for a long time,
so?new is
probably better than used.? The section leader in my band recommended
that I
look at a Buffet E11.? How do others feel about that clarinet?? Are
there other
models that you'd recommend instead?

Thanks in advance for your input!
