 Clarinet shopping spree
Author: RAL

I needed a non-wood cheap but decent clarinet for taking it in my business trips. Based out on great advice from this board, I ended up with a Jupiter. However, A TR 147 I did miss got into my mind because of the hard rubber and Ridenour stories...

Then I decided I needed a clarinet for improving my maintenance and repair skills, so "invested" US$ 6,5 in a not so bad looking and playabe as is Amati (I even intend to do nickel replating...).

Then a reasonably and even cheap TR 147 popped up, so I got it...

Is this normal?

You appear to have caught a nasty case of "Clarinet Acquisition Syndrome". Don't worry, it's not fatal, but it can lead to domestic disharmony. Unfortunately its not curable. Welcome to the club.

In these times of zero return for deposits, so I have to tell my wife every some months, a nice old clarinet is a sensible investment.

I've bought 10-20 boxes of various reeds recently, few I'll have use for.
I keep telling myself it's a journey that will pay off when I find the ultimate reed.. One of these days..

Even getting just one clarinet is not normal... which is a part of why it's so good.
