Re: Cadet clarinet

As a general rule, manufacturers only give model names that indicate youth, an entry-level job or a subordinate position, such as Cadet and Regent, to beginner-level instruments. Nobody'd call a pro model a Cadet unless the word means something considerably different in another language, and even then a smart manufacturer will look up a word in major languages before sticking it on a product. One company (I forget which, offhand) has gone so far as to name a current clarinet model the Tyro! -- apparently ignorant of the American English connotation of ... well, ignorance, and not in the sense of dewy-eyed innocence.
