Your Personal Clarinet?

Just wondering if anyone had any interesting stories about how they found their own favorite instrument? Was it something that was bought after trying many other clarinets, or a gift from a loved one, obtained through a trade, etc.? Recently owned, or had forever?

I ended up buying/trading my Buffet Festival Bb from my niece as she was making a transition from clarinet to guitar. As a beginner, it's alot more instrument than I really need, but the quality and pride of ownership kind of caused me to fall into this one. Can't imagine wanting or needing anything more... ever. I just hope as an adult beginner, I can eventually do it some kind of justice. It's just so beautiful to look at and to play. (Now I find out there is a whole different world of mouthpiece/ligature choices...)

After reading some posts about clarinets that are 20, 30, 50 years old or more, I figure there HAS to be some cool background on how some of you have found the one you currently play.

So...
Thanks in advance for sharing.

Dave

This is a genuine signature.
