Re: New Clarinet--need help with models

Since your daughter is a new beginner in the fall, and the "demo" YCL-52 is priced at $500, I'd opt for this one.

You are going to get all kinds of suggestions from this forum. There are those that want everybody to have a professional level clarinet. There are those that think you should only buy what you really need. It's very confusing to someone that wants to do what's best for their child. You don't know if your daughter is going to stay in band after the first year, and a huge investment in something that you might not be able to get your money back out of is not a good choice. Of the clarinets mentioned thus far the Yamaha YCL-52 is as good as any of them with the exception of the professional R-13.....which will be at the very least twice the cost of the Yamaha.

Take what you've read here, and discuss it with the band director. Let him help you make the decision on the instrument, and with the mouthpiece and reeds he prefers.
