There are of course many good clarinet manufacturers out there and I don't want to dissuade you from Buffet, Leblanc, Yamaha, Backun, and Selmer and others (although price might.)

But that said--Ridenour clarinets are (almost?) exclusively made out of hard rubber, which is a great material for making consistent pleasant souding clarinets that, as a result of this consistency, are conducive to being purchased online (a method you've considered and citing the risks with), sight unseen. They play similarly and in tune.

Since they've been selling clarinets just this way (online) for quite some time, I wanna guess their quality is at least as good as making their return from the consumer far more the exception than rule. I imagine they couldn't stay in business otherwise.
