Scenario:
highschool student (me!) looking for a step up clarinet from an old plastic vito clarinet
Tryed out a wooden buffet evette from my band director. I loved the feel, but took it to my teacher. However, after my teacher played and messed around with it, she told me it was WAY sharp in the lower notes, and needed quite a few adjustments and new pads. So I gave it back to my director and told him it wasn't the one for me.
Now last week he called me and told me that he had it fixed up by someone else and it plays wonderfully~ I am very wary though because of the way sharp notes. Does getting an instrument adjusted and such fix such tuning problems?
I don't really want to take it back to my teacher to look at unless I'm think that the tuning problem is really fixed. (she told me flat out before that it wasn't a good deal becaue of the lower note tuning problems.)

You could check the instrument out with a tuner while at school, in the band room. That'd tell you right away.
