Re: Buying a new clarinet - Limbao?

Yash,
I found the Jinbao clarinets, I presume these are the ones you meant. The models you mention, which are the only ones advertised by Rivertone, are both German system instruments. Due to the number of Albert system instruments in India this is understandable, as the German system is closely related to the Albert system and it would be a fairly simple matter for an Albert system player to convert to the German system.

There are other Jinbao clarinets which are Boehm system, such as the models JBCL 500, 510, 520, 530, 540 and 570. These may not be available from Rivertone, but may be available from other dealers. This url offers an alternative supplier, shipping direct from China.

I have heard conflicting reports on the quality of these instruments. Can you contact a local music teacher, or perhaps the woodwind teacher of a college to advise you on the best course of action for your local conditions? If I can help you with your choice you could contact me off this bboard. Click on my name at the top of the post and you'll get my email address.
