Re: Question on 2 clarinets

Unfortunately, my budget is prety low considering the purchase...I have a guitar I am selling to finance my "new" clarinet purchase, so my budget is less than what I'll get for that - most likely $350 or less.

In looking, I have tried to only "watch" items that mention being recently repadded/recorked, springs replaced, etc. to try to avoid some after purchase work, although I do realize, the nature of the site is to make your product look great to a potential buyer and the claims may not be entirely true. I will definitely look it over pretty thoroughly once I get it, unfortunately, the area in which I live does not really cater to woodwind players, so I don't know if I would have an easy time finding someone I trust to look it over.

The appearance of it doesn't worry me so much as the sound of it....the calrinet I play now is a vito, no idea what model, and it sounds tinny and does not stay in tune - very sharp sounding. I've had it for 20 years now - since I started in 5th grade.

One I am seriously looking at now is a Leblanc Noblet 40 which is described having been repadded and recorked recently. I gave up on the other 2 since I didn't know much about the P Gerard and the other ended more quickly than I thought...

Thanks to everyone for the replies - very helpful!!!!
