Re: Next clarinet I should consider purchasing

Regarding the Ridenour 576 bc , I recently bought one (under 1000 and he was really flexible on financing and everything) and honestly I was disappointed. The tone for the most part sounds the same as my buffet b12 except for the lower region which sounds better and the throat tones which on some notes sound worse( mainly just a buzzing noise when I do side keys). There is also a really high pitched squeak that comes with my F - G on/above the staff along with the actual note that comes and goes. It is also heavier than my B12 which is causing me some problems with my thumb, but that's not the clarinets fault. However the tuning is much better and I have I really like the register key. Now all these things should be taken with a large piece of salt considering I have only had it for 1 or 2 weeks and Tom or Ted( I get the two confused) tried to help me to the best of their abilities although it didn't really help much. I am also not a professional, just a a High school kid trying for all state. On a side not my teacher tried it and said she liked it, but didn't have the lively feeling a wood clarinet had, but she's kinda biased.
