Re: What instrument would you recommend for my daughter?

I purchased my granddaughter's clarinet last year and isn't even two yet. :o)

She watches my wife and me play when she visits. The instrument is a like-new plastic Buffet B12 that cost us ~$250. It really sounds nice and outplays any vito or signet that I've seen. If my granddaughter is as interested in music as it sounds like your daughter is by seventh grade, then we would indeed purchase her a professional horn. We would also encourage her to keep the plastic instrument for marching and pep band.

We would probably purchase a used Buffet R-13 or a Leblanc LL and we would not expect it to cost over $600 plus the cost of a tech tweaking it. There are sooo many used instruments out there that really didn't get used. You just have to know where to look. I'd much rather purchase a music instrument for my kids than a new TV or game playing device.
