Re: Jupiter Carnegie XL wood clarinet.

skygardener, thank you so much for responding to me! Now, have you tried other intermediate clarinets that you find nice? Have you ever tried playing some of the older Selmer Signets or older Normandys and Noblets? I've tried to go to every music store that's near me, but none of them allow me to play test instruments. That's why I have to buy my intermediate clarinet on "that site". Now that I've heard what you said, I'll try to get one of these clarinets, Normandy 7, Selmer Signet Special, Noblet 40/Noblet 45, Evette & Shaeffer model from Buffet Crampon, or perhaps THE Jupiter Carnegie XL. Most likely I'd be able to get the Jupiter or the Normandy or the Signet since not much people bid on those clarinets. It's sad to see that most kids nowadays have no clue that these clarinets with weird names on that site are actually just clarinet shaped objects designed to look flashy but play terrible. I was very fortunate that no one was getting my plastic Jupiter because the seller was very vague in the description. Plus that plastic Jupiter I got was brand new. When I played with my classmate my Jupiter sounded better than his Yamaha Advantage on pretty much every note. Anyway, sorry about the bragging, let's go back to the subject. It would probably be wiser to buy a mouthpiece and reed instead of a new clarinet but I'd be paying just as much either way so I'll just get a better clarinet if I can. If I can't get a better clarinet I'll just get a Clark Fobes Nova mouthpiece and Gonzalez FOF reeds. Thanks for the response.
