Very funny, BartHX. You're right, there'd be no question were that the case.
kdk: I understand what you're saying re the 30 mins to an hour a day. What gets me though, is that for at least my first year, I would practice one to two hours a day, and still would get tired. My teacher (at that time) advised me to practice 10 minutes, then stop for 10; practice 10 more, then stop, etc. I could do that then; however, my current time constraints prevent me from doing this, so I have to try to get in 30-60 minutes once a day (and occasionally I don't even get to do that). I know, it's a matter of priorities like everything else we do in life, so I'll have to decide what's more important.
Carol, without me doing a lot of research, about what would be a good ballpark figure for buying a Spenser sax?
Dan, I had a B45. Much too open for me, so I got an M-13 Lyre which helped a lot, but not to the extent of my being able to play long periods w/o tiring.
BobD...my old buddy...so good to hear from you, too. I will send you a PM soon. Good advice from you and Bartmann re the flute. Somehow, I never thought of myself as playing the flute (some of my "Good old boy", racquetball buddies here in East TN would probably laugh me down for that, but I'm at the age now that that wouldn't phase me, so I might give that a try also).
At any rate, I truly appreciate your responses, and thankfully, I don't HAVE to make an immediate decision, so I will keep practicing clarinet for as long as I can spare the time for awhile yet.
