 What is the Difference?

Hi, new to the clarinet world, so pardon my naive question...what are the major differences between student, intermediate and professional models other than the $$ tag?

Since I'm so new, I don't really know what I'm doing, but I'm debating on buying the Le Blanc Bliss LB310 and the Le Blanc Rapsodie.

Generally speaking, the material used for the body is the biggest difference. Student clarinets almost always have plastic bodies. Intermediate ones are made of hard rubber or grenadilla wood.

Professional models are made of the best wood available. The quality of the metal and the workmanship will be superior, and the clarinet will cause less difficulty for the player.

As far as which Leblanc to buy, either one is fine.
