Monique Clarinet

Hi,

Have been researching clarinets and I stumbled upon a "Monique". Is this a good clarinet? Is it student, intermediate, or professional? I found it at Dominic's Music .com, you can check it out there. Is it beneficial to have gold-plated keys, or is it just showy.

Thanks

Doing a quick search here on Monique brings up multiple warning on this clarinet, such as http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=68356&t=68336.

Caveat Emptor.

My repair tech has a list of instruments he will not repair.

Monique is in the top ten.

There are much better ways to blow $250...

Clay asks, of the Monique Clarinet-shaped object: "Is it student, intermediate, or professional?"

I believe the proper answer is "no" to all.

Regards,
John

It falls into the "lamp" category

Though if I can find one cheap, I'll pick it up for some experimentation into new and unusual ways of assembling the clarinet.
