It's a good horn.

You paid a good price for it.

You've found what most other browsers find near 44th street...

There's something to be said for having just one mouthpiece and reed to juggle (and train yourself to use).

Given the frequency with which your likely to play the A - stick with one for some time, and find out if it suits your needs.

I tried to get a hard rubber Ridenour 147 in A and the cost was high.

If this doesn't work out for you, the Yamaha SE and SEv clarinets in A are very good, so is the Amati and *gasp* the Buffet RC.

I wouldn't spend more than $1000 for secondhand, myself.
