Yes, Bart, you will have the time one day and you will be glad you kept your clarinet equipment. The clarinet is a truly remarkable instrument and it has a huge range of potential for much expression. Listen to Ricardo Morales, for example--or to go in a slightly different direction--Richard Stoltzman. Or, how about Benny Goodman--or perhaps someone like Eddie Daniels?
Perhaps I'm a peculiar person, but I think the clarinet has more potential for expression than the flute. Oh, I agree the vibrato thing is a nice touch and the flute is a beautiful thing to hear played well--but, when you listen to someone who can move your heart on the clarinet--that's a truly wonderful experience.
I'm glad you're keeping your stuff.
