The key work on a Normandy 14P is not quite as strong as you will find on the later Normandy 140P and Vito 7214P. Having a technician go over it before presenting it as a gift would be highly recommended, just to ensure that everything is in proper regulation.

The 14P I owned was a nice sounding clarinet with good tonal focus and even response that was not stuffy at all. I paid less than US$80 for mine, and it needed about $40 in service plus a new case to be put back into service.

Note that the 14P and 140P are plastic instruments, while the 5P and 10P are wooden, with some 5P models equipped with a plastic bell. They all seem to resell within the same price range; if you'd rather have a wooden instrument, one will eventually turn up somewhere for about what you'd pay for a 14P.
