Looking through an internet site I found that Peter Easton makes two(+possibly more) professional Clarinets. The "international" with a small bore, and the "Elite" with a larger bore. Has anyone tried these Clarinets? I would be greatful for a comparison with some other current models such as Buffet,Selmer,Yamaha etc..

HI,
I have not personally tried one but I hear they are very good.
When I was doing a report on the clarinet I emailed several companies. Leblanc, buffet, Patricola, Howarth, Ripamonti and Amati were all very helpful. But peter Eaton was very rude. HE was very quick to respond but would not help me at all. He picked at a word that was misspelled for over a month before he would give me information.
I believe he makes good instruments unless hi bitterness has worked its way into the manufacturing process.

Slight spelling mistake. Peter EATON clarinets.
I bought a pair of the large bore last year and they are the finest instruments I have ever played.
Peter gives me £20 every time I say this!
Worth a try. Very high quality of craftsmanship.

I would like to know it is like using a large bore instrument? And perhaps, difficulties that could arise in making such a switch?
