 Bias against Lyrique?
Author: chorusgirl 
Date:   2009-10-29 20:28

My son has a Lyrique that we purchased in February. To date, it has been a wonderful fit for him, and he is doing quite well (he's in seventh grade and will be in a marching band, hence the decision for a Lyrique rather than a wood clarinet).

He gets a lot of snide, negative comments from various people, who are not familiar with the Lyrique, or when they hear it's not a Buffet or Yamaha, etc.

He has an audition coming up, and I'm wondering if he will encounter the same bias. Do auditioners generally look to see what a student is playing on? Will they look at his set up? Will they not look or care, but only base it on what they hear?

I know it is hard to predict that, but I'm wondering, in general, what you have experienced.
