Re: I need help on a professional clarinet.

I was a High School Freshman in 1969, and I already knew that music was going to be my path. I purchased a new Buffet R13 then, manufactured in 1969, for the very expensive cost of $280. That was 1969. Now, after many years, uncountable miles, several world tours playing everywhere (including China) I am still playing that R13, among other horns that caught my fancy over the years. Yes, I've needed several repads, and also had the Brannens in Evanston Illinois do a total overhaul about 15 years ago, but that clarinet is one sweet instrument.

Make the investment in a pro horn now, and you'll have it as your best friend the rest of your life, in all probability. You'll be playing your college auditions on it, your recitals, and then who knows? Orchestra auditions are around the corner for you - in 9 years or so, right?
