Hey All,
My son is just finishing his first year in 5th grade band. He's doing well, and is very enthusiastic about playing clarinet. He has been playing a rented instrument all year. A well used, beat, old, Bb clarinet.

I have just purchased a new student model Bb clarinet for his birthday, made by Palatino. He was so psyched when he got it, but is having a difficult time playing it. He can't get the higher notes to come out clearly if at all. The whole thing seems a bit stiff. It has been a big let down to both of us.

Maybe the instrument needs some adjustment? Or a break-in period? Or maybe the beat, old, rented one is much higher quality. Anyone have any insight about Palatino clarinets?

HELP!
Thanks
