Re: Rental Clarinet Quality

Basically,

I think you can trust anyone you can find under our instrument sponsor ads. If you're looking for a used clarinet, I would not hesitate to trust John Butler, Dave Spiegelthal, or any other names you come across on this board.

I would do a search for such things as "overhaul" and "restore" etc. The people who deal with overhauls and restoring older clarinets are probably more likely to have a few restored models lying around. Just click on their name and shoot them an email explaining your situation and what they suggest you should do (buy the malerne, maybe they have a restored one around, etc.)

Another popular name I've seen thrown around here or there are Cousnon clarinets. Apparently they are VERY good and can be found relatively cheaply. Just throwing in another name for just a little MORE confusion! [wink]
