Buffet E11 A Clarinet ????

Greetings

I just bought a really nice Buffet E11 and discovered that it is an A not a b flat. What a dummy, but it sounds wonderful and I would like to know if there are any websites or programs for making the b flat music to work with the A clarinet.

The clarinet is like new and I guess that's why I thought that I was getting such a good deal. Being very new to this instrument, is there very much call for these? I heard that they are mainly used in orchestras, but I really like the sound of it.

Any information would be greatful

Thanks Gwynn

There's a wealth of solo, orchestral, and chamber music literature that specifies A clarinet. It's very much a useful acquisition. If you don't have a really nice B flat clarinet to go with it, it probably won't fit your intentions in purchasing it though.
