Woah... a bit weird to see my own posts from six years ago... a bit naive...

Anyway, I still use the same Eaton International clarinet. It's possible that some are not so good, just like any model. You can try one or you can try a hundred, as long as you find one you like it doesn't matter. I tried just one and it was love at first sound

Although it is supposed to work with most normal French mouthpieces, I found some mouthpieces to not work at all. I use the Eaton mouthpiece and prefer it. Other mouthpieces I've tried also work great.

Re the weight, IME the Eaton International is a bit heavier than some clarinets, but when I recently tried a Selmer Recital it definitely felt heavier than what I'm used to. So IME the Recital is heavier, but I haven't really compared.

I still think the keywork is not an issue and for me it is the most comfortable I've played. It did take some getting used to for a couple of weeks. When other players tried my clarinet some think it is very comfortable and some think it is not so comfortable. It is individual.
