 Re: Berkeley brand clarinets?

That's how we got my son's old student clarinet (Buffet Evette) - we rented it first then bought it. But I don't think that renting is feasible for me and my future A clarinet. The music stores in town (Tucson) don't have A clarinets at all. They're willing to order one for purchase but probably less willing to buy one and rent it out to me, and I might not fare any better if I drove to Phoenix. There isn't any other city bigger than Tucson within 400 miles.

I found an E11 B-flat clarinet for rent online for $45/month - it amounts to an installment purchase plan with a total price of $1,700 which is WAY out of my price range. Renting an A clarinet probably costs more. So even if I rented an A clarinet and liked it, buying it would be a problem and renting it forever would be a problem too.

I appreciate the suggestion but I just don't think it's a workable solution.
