I asked my professor about getting an A clarinet the first day I arrived at the University - he told me that rarely any of the clarinetists here (the majority of whom are doing a B.M.E.) have an A clarinet. After playing in the orchestra for some time and getting to know the clarinetists around here, there's only one clarinetist who actually has his/her own A clarinet - the first chair clarinetist, who is a senior. I *think* she is doing a B.M.E. (I don't recall), but I've met a few B.M. Performance majors here who don't have an A clarinet and get it from the school (i.e. as a rental), one of whom is also a senior.

Right now, I'd probably have to say that my main priority would be to get a better Bb clarinet - I've already sent a message to my professor, asking him if he could get a few clarinets sent here so that I can try them.
