John Sir:
Respect towards limiting the focus of your answer to that asked: a quality instrument to purchase, that will retain value, and presumtively not "break the bank," given the clarinet's drop-out rate, the answers above are all, IMHO, excellent.
But in your own best interest I can't help but suggest working with a reputable local person in the know to rent a decent instrument for a few months. True, you have nothing to show for rental payments once the instrument is returned, and true, instruments recommended above historically re-sell well if taken care of, but you'll be tying up more dollars for the right to own that which you may have to sell.
You may have your own personal reasons for purchase; money may not be an overriding factor for you, and I hold your plan in regard. I just thought I'd offer you the opportunity to contemplate an alternative.
