To be honest with you, I moved from a plastic Bundy to an intermediate Yamaha, and I WISH I would have just gone ahead and got a professional model clarinet in the first place.
If your daughter is really committed to the clarinet, I would buy a professional line horn.
Think about it: If she buys an intermediate model clarinet now for $1,000 (which is probably what you'll have to pay) and in 5 years you have to buy a professional model clarinet (2,000 minimum) then in the long run you'll be out $3,000+.
I bought my intermediate 5 years ago for $1,000 and now I have to buy a professional grade clarinet which will probably cost me at the very least $2,200. So now my family is out $3,200 minimum when we could have paid $1,800 in the first place (because the price increases/inflation hadn't occured and new clarinets cost less 5 years ago-at least in my area.)
But do whatever YOU and YOUR DAUGHTER see fit. This is just my humble view. Good luck!
