My dad was in Saudi Arabia and went to look at clarinets for me..he said they only had plastic and the cheapest one was a $1500! He didn't know what brand they were but I was wondering what plastic clarinet is worth $1500?

With plastic clarinets such as the Yamaha YCL-250 listing for just under $900 here in the USA, it's certainly not much of a surprise that a quality plastic instrument would sell for $1500 abroad with the stiff import duties and taxes levied on musical instruments by some nations.
I doubt a wooden clarinet would survive very long in the climate of Saudi Arabia.

Of course the US Army calls Greenline plastic. Depends on who's defining the term.

I use to live in Saudi Arabia, I found musical instrument prices to be competative. Are you shure he ment dollars and not Riyals? 1500SR makes sense

Check out the Buffet Greenline. Shop around for a slightly used one. They play very well.

>> Doesn't eBay exist in the Middle East?? <<
Do you mean a Middle East version of ebay (that is, for each country) or ordering from the US/Germany/UK/etc. versions of ebay to the Middle East?
