@Alex: I would probably go with the "bad technician;" no offense to her, but she wouldn't take care of a problem that I noticed while I played it unless I gave her specific directions (e.g. the 1-1 Bb isn't working, or to replace pads - which she never did - along with other things). I am playing a Leblanc Soloist (see signature for other equip.), basically an intermediate model.
@clarinetguy: I am a performance major. I know for a fact that my former private teacher, when she went for her B.M.E. (Bachelor of Music Education), she studied with the clarinet professor with whom I am currently studying, and she did hear a few things about the Lyrique (and knew a few people who actually had one), but she didn't know too much about it. (Then again, she might have first heard of it in grad. school.) Anyway, I'm probably going to ask my professor about the Lyrique - see if he knows anything about it. Thank you for your advice.
@Franklin: I did do an "overhaul" with the aforementioned technician, but it didn't seem like any more than a few pads... Something makes me think I shouldn't go to that place anymore. Speaking of marching band, I'm surprised how well it's held up despite that I've taken it through about 5°F weather and even 85°F weather (MN it is...). I intend to keep it if and when I do get a new clarinet. Thank you also. (I'm not sure if I would call it a "student" model since it's made of wood, but I might be wrong on that one. I was told that it was an "intermediate" model when I bought it.)
