Re: Student Eb Clarinets

I am not familiar with the specific models you mentioned. However, being the owner of a Selmer Bundy Resonite (beginners) Eb clarinet that plays almost as well as my pro level Yamaha, I would guess that the Selmer 1405 would be the effer of my choice. But, you should play both and decide for yourself. It might also be enlightening for you to try a Buffet E11 Eb before you make your fingal choice. The Buffet E11 models are intended as student/intermediate level instruments that are priced quite reasonably, yet play like their professional level "big brothers." I suspect an E11 Eb would not cost significantly more than the Selmer 1405 Eb, and you would be getting an instrument that you could play for a long time without needing to "upgrade" to a "better" clarinet. E11's are already "good enough" for many advanced playing venues. Hope this helps a bit--let us know what you decide.....and why. Good luck!!!!!!
