Re: Best clarinet for marching band

In the West Point Band, everyone was issued a Resonite Bundy. It's indestructible and 100% reliable. I used the stock Goldentone mouthpiece and brown-box Rico reeds -- a new one every year whether it needed it or not. These days I'd use a Legere.

Bundys can be found for $50 or less on eBay. The old ones had a needle spring on the throat A key, which snapped easily. Be sure to get one with a flat spring for that key.

As long as it's playable, the Armstrong will also do perfectly well. Marching band is not about finesse or advanced instruments. Just something that will withstand heat, cold and abuse.
