Is it Selmer, Yamaha, Buffet, or some other.
I know , that there is a problem with Yamaha ( ycl 622 custom) never mind proffesional There is with a flat key , the bad is get wet and go bigger. That is mix the intonaton.
I don´t know, wich problems are with other4 firm clarinet.
Some problems were wikth Buffet too, but not so sewrious.

Even the best clarinet makers make lemons, my recommendation is to try as many as you can possibly get your hands on.

Each of the 4-leading brands of clarinet makes several models --some intentionally compromised to keep their costs down as well as some top models.
Amongst all of these there are manufacturing and set-up tolerances the cause each instrument to be a little different from all its siblings. That means, like Chris P implied, that you must search amongst several clarinets to find a "good" one --and search long and hard (and probably get advice) to find a "best" one.
Yes, you can go wrong by just dropping into a music store and ordering a clarinet (it happeded to me as a know-nothin' kid). It is likely that if you do that, you'll get a horn that has been "tested" by someone who rejected it in favor of a "better" one.
An extremely good example of Brand X's top line clarinet will be better than a so-so example from Brand B, but it will also be better than a so-so example of Brand X's top line instruments. You have to seek and find the horn you love.
Get some trusted help if you are going shopping. Try to forget about price --it'll last long enough to bring the cost per hour of playing down to pennies for the horn quarters for reeds.
