What in the world does being an undergraduate, post graduate, or not having a teacher have to do with whether you should let another person determine whether you should be buying a particular brand of clarinet? Are they paying for it, and do they have to play it? Professional musicians I have known over the years, and by that I mean people who have made a living playing music for a living often have different brands of clarinets for different characteristics they have for different situations. Same for flute and saxophone. What works for a teacher at whatever level of your academic education does not mean that is the best instrument for you. Since it is the musicians money and they have to play the clarinet, they are in the drivers seat and I do believe have the right to play whatever brand they wish if it happens to work for them. That applies to clarinets, trumpets, trombones, saxophones, flutes, or piano's. I have met too many teachers at the college level who are living in the past, very set in their ways, and have very closed minds. He who pays for an instrument has the right to pick whatever they desire, it is their money and they are the ones who are going to play it. Same things applies to mouthpieces. If that is a problem with a teacher then perhaps the problem lies with the teacher and not the clarinet.
