First things first. Get yourself a yamaha 4c mouthpiece with a 2.0 reed an a ligature. Set it up. Ask a clarinetist to help her explaining how to use it.
Tell you wife to blow the mouthpiece, to try to get a sound.
If she can gets a sound in a few tries, Impressive.
If in one day she can get a sound, great! She has a future.
If within a month she can barely got anything, well... well...
If there is no way she a sound, why not try a viola or cello
maybe be a sax!
It is nice to handle different musical instruments, better since she is
gifted with a musical talent.
If you decide to buy, and if you do not have a person that knows about
clarinet repair, buy a new Yamaha clarinet.
If you want to take a risk on ebay, wood Yamahas or Selmers are fine pieces.
I like silver plated keys. They do not rust.
Cracked clarinets and broken tenons are a Bigs NoS.
Expect to have to change pads, search for a good deal!
Better avoid Chineese eye catching cheaper clarinets. There are people that do not trust their qualities.
Good luck!
