Re: Buying a clarinet in Prague, any tips?

I visited Prague in May, and never found any Amati horns to look at, but I did find some very nice cd shops. There's a little shop right on the other side of the Charles Bridge that had an incredible number of clarinet cd's. They weren't particularly cheap, but I bought quite a few of Czech clarinetists that turned out to be wonderful. At the Rudolfinium (where the Czech Phil plays) there's a pretty nice cd shop as well...with cd's by some of the artists in the Czech Phil. I picked up one with a clarinetist who was playing with them when I heard them in Chicago about 5 years ago...fantastic cd.
Great city to visit...very tourist friendly. And when you get tired of walking, you can get a very inexpensive Pilsner Urquell, which I really developed a liking for (it's cheaper than the water).
