RE: The Buffet Experience

I just changed over Christmas break from a Vito plastic clarinet to a Buffet E-11. This silver-plated beatiful sounding instrument has been my dream since beginning HS (I'm a freshman in College and a music ed major) and was the best deal I have ever gotten. $$ isn't always a huge issue. While it definately is a factor in such a purchase, I got mine new w/ warentee off of Ebay for $584--half the normal price for such an instrument. You seem to know what is important--learning the essentials first. Learning on a beginning clarinet is important esp. w/ all the wear that they get in terms of misuse etc because of lack of experience. I encourage you to stick w/ learning the clarinet and to take advantage of those wonderful experiences you'll have in the future of playing professional instruments and hearing the difference.
