Hi Chris,
My first clarinet was a wooden Regent with the dreaded silly keys. At the time my parents had bought me a decent Emperor flute which was then my main intrument. I still have both! My clarineting then overtook my fluting and I was bought a pair of Edgwares ( which I still have). Then I outgrew them and was not sure where to go next. When I was more advanced I had a teacher for a year who played 1010s and after that one who played Buffet RCs and I was rather confused to say the least. I was about to audition for one of the Royal Colleges/etc but rather lost the plot![[happy]](http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/smileys/smiley12.gif) . Added to that my very small hands and fingers were difficult to match perfectly but I went for a professional pair of Uebels ( which I still have ) I did try lots of clarinets before getting them but my heart was actually with the rather less practical and demanding 1010s which I have acquired a pair of in the last year and they are amazing! Moving swiftly on I have succumbed to a pair of the early Eatons in the last week for my 25th wedding anniversary and they are fab but far less demanding to play. Looking back I regretted for years not going for the more demanding 1010s but it was early 80s and probably Boosey's worse period of production so I probably had a narrow escape. My husband had a brand new Emperor at that time and it went back numerous times as it seized up after about 30 mins playing. We still have it and it has only been played about a dozen times but should really have gone on the bonfire! Sad but true that Boosey left themselves wide open to a takeover. Thank goodness for Peter Eaton who has restored my faith in the British wide bore tradition and hand on heart I can say makes the most amazing clarinets! ;-)
