Ok I am unemployeed and just looking for a Clarinet for me to start learning on. So with that in mind I do not care if itis plastic or wood. I just need a good used model that is servicable at my local repair shop should it more then likely need pads or corks etc.....

I wanted to play Clarinet when I started in band in 5th grade. I was afraid I would be teased if I played clarinet because Ihad never seen a boy play a clarinet. So instead of going with my first choice of clarinet I played trumpet instead.

I was quite accomplished on trumpet but actualy played in a city Orchestra as a low brass player. So musicly I am well educated but I am stupid when it comes to wood winds unless you count haveing dated several clarinet players and few flute players!LOL I should add that they where all great women!

Right now I am seeing a lot of Reso Tune 3 by Vito and Bundy 577's all priced bellow $50 prior to shipping. I assume the Berkeley Clarinets are junk since Ihave never heard of them but I will ask anyway's since things ahve changed alot since I was a Band Geek so long ago. I also have seen a few Olds Clarinets but I had no idea Olds Made woodwinds I have two trumpets that are fantastic that where made by Olds inthe 1940 and 1970's.

So since I will never play professionaly on a clarinet I am just looking for low priced student and intermediate clarinets that I can pick up cheaply. The more underrated the better! Just as long as we do not start looking at 14 key Albert models I do not want to rock out old school!LOL

I am assumeing all of them will need pads shortly after I get them?

Life is hard so play hard!
