Re: I need an A clarinet

I'd be really wary of Buffets that are $600. I bought a vintage Buffet A for $700, but have had to put several hundred into overhaul, new case etc. Frankly I've had problems with it. If I had it to do over again, I would have paid the $1000 plus and gotten something in better condition. I've never really been happy with my cheap instrument.

If you live in a rural area like I do, the choice of shops to purchase an instrument is limited, but that also makes the choice of repair techs limited. Make sure that what you get is working well, unless you have a tech you really have confidence in. My local guy hasn't been very successful in getting my instrument right and I have no-one else nearby to try.
