Hearing people talk about their "backup set", or tons of auxiliary instruments makes me wonder about this every once in awhile. I'm planning to purchase my first A clarinet this winter, and it occurred to me that it'll bring my clarinet total up to four (three in playable condition). I bet a lot of non-musicians would balk at this, but I bet I've got significantly fewer than most of the pros and equipment-junkie amateurs out there (I know if I was making a lot more money than now and/or was making a career out of it, I'd have a couple more instruments around).

I have two clarinets, a Bb and an A. Both are Amati Klaslice full Boehms which I purchased second hand a while back. This brand has has a bad reputation in the past for shoddy workmanship and unstable wood, but I must have got lucky with these two as they are in excellent working condition with good intonaton throughout the entire range and the wood appears stable. Suprisingly the mechanism stays in adjustment quite well also. However I feel that I need a good knockabout back-up Bb instrument and am thinking of the Schrieber plastic instrument. Does anyone know anything about these or can they give an opinion of them. There is an Australian dealer who can supply these.

Hmm... that I'll admit too? Well not counting Suzy's as she's the real clarinet player:
Boxwood (1800s) Nine key I think
Buffet R-13 Festival Bb Sop
Selmer Paris Silver Bb Sop
Buescher Silver TruTone Bb Sop (albert keyed)
Leblanc Esprit Eb Alto
Selmer Priviledge Bb Bass to low C
Leblanc Contra Alto Eb (paperclip) to low C
Leblanc Contrabass Bb (paperclip)
Guess I should learn to play them better. It's all about the journey isn't it though.

This is a little like Ground Hog Day or an extreme case of deja vu...
