In your situation, I would highly recommend the Ridenour Lyrique or Libertas. Wonderful clarinets at a very reasonable price, and I enjoyed the Lyrique way over my hand-selected R13. Can't imagine what the Libertas would feel like.

There's no reason a non-major should feel the need to get an R13. Professional wood clarinets belong to the collegiate and professional market. However, the Ridenour clarinet is a very good professional instrument- it's just not made of wood. I don't see why so many clarinetists have such strict brand or material bias when these instruments knock so many out of the water.

Just my two cents.

P.S: I am now a non-major too. I majored in music for a year and made a career change. Trust me, I don't need to have my R13 for concert band or auxiliary lessons. I play the clarinet because I enjoy it, not because I have sold my soul to it.
