 Re: Student Clarinets

Olds was a brass instrument manufacturer. I don't believe they ever built a Clarinet but rather "stenciled" the name on Clarinets made by others. I own an old Olds Clarinet, and it is, to say the best, sub-wonderful. I offered to give it to a student recently for back-up service, and she refused it.

I have never played an Artley, but I have known those who did as students and found the instruments quite okay.

Concerning the "Big Four," I think the usual suggestion is "Don't buy a student instrument outside this group (unless you know what you are doing)." Sticking with those suppliers can pretty much ensure one does not buy a real dud.

Regards,
Joh
