 Re: Selecting a clarinet with Lisa Argiris

I bought my R13 Bb clarinet through Lisa last summer. I talked to her on the phone for about 15 minutes, and then, within a month, she sent me three beautiful R13 clarinets. All of them were outstanding, and had she only sent me one clarinet, she could have sent any of the three and I would have been happy. I picked the one I liked the most, and I'm still happy with it.

There was one aspect of my interaction with Lisa that would cause me to pause before reccomending her. When she asked if I needed an A clarinet to go with the new Bb I had just bought, I told her that I had already purchased an excellent A clarinet at an excellent price from Walter Grabner. She responded, somewhat incredulously "Have you ever heard Walter play?" And then started talking about how Walter Grabner was a good mouthpiece maker, but not an especially good player, that his skills as a repair tech were lacking and that she wasn't sure if she would trust a clarinet that he selected.

The clarinets she sent me were wonderful, but I wish that she had stopped short of badmouthing Walter Grabner, which just seemed unprofessional to me.
