Re: Are the following Yamaha Clarinets good or bad?

Thanks Chris. What I don't understand from that chart though is:

1 - CX
2 - CS
3 - SE
4 - AE
6 - Reformed Boehm
7 - Oehler system
8 - Vienna style
0 - Version/development number

I don't see how only 0 would be the version number. It makes more sense to say, for example, that the 3rd digit is the version. 0 is specific and 'version' is not. Maybe I'm misreading the chart? Also, do you have any idea what CX, CS, SE and AE mean? Are these different 'scales' like the 3rd digit on the flute? If when the third digit is 0 it is not any of the others, what is it?

>> Well I don't use the left Eb key at all and I know of at least two
>> professionals who only use it for Premier Rhapsodie by Debussy.

I never use it either but that doesn't mean everyone shouldn't use it....

>> It's mostly just playing it that seems to get it "back into shape," and

>> sleek and free playing, it seems.

So are you saying it wasn't the overhaul itself i.e. correcting key heights, fixing leaks, improving key action, etc. that made it play better? The only times I've seen a clarinet play better after a while is when the player improved himself to play that instrument better.
