 Have not played in 40 years!
Author: SusanSolo

I played the clarinet from age 9 to 16, and was first chair the last four years of playing, but then had other priorities and totally quit playing. In recent times I have been thinking about how nice it would be to play again (now age 56). I still can read music and finger most of the notes (without an instrument in hand!), but when picking up a niece's clarinet several years ago, I could not get any sound out other than a squeak, so I realize learning the proper embouchure again will be a challenge. Do you have any tips on buying a decent clarinet for my purposes, without overpaying or ending up with a garbage instrument? Any tips or encouragement on pursuing this endeavor again?
