I'm so happy I found this board! Thanks sharing all your knowledge and opinions. Yes, the band director is suggesting intermediate instruments. She does not want us to get plastic. (Too bad, my daughter really wanted a pink one. LOL) My daughter hasn't played at all, just got a perfect score on the aptitude test they took, then scored highest on clarinet for being the best fit for her. I understand that she may decide to play a different instrument down the road, or not be in band at all...but I'd rather buy a clarinet I could sell later on, rather than pay $40-$50 a month for the rental and not have anything to show for it. Perhaps upgrading to a more professional grade clarinet is something we will look at later on if she sticks with it.

I did see on the Yamaha site that it said YCL-52's were manufactured from 1985-2002, so I know I'd be getting an older instrument. Hopefully the fact that it's never been played (except for demo in the store) and it's been in a climate controlled environment for all this time would make up for it's age.

Thanks again! Feel free to add any more insight you have!
