Re: C Clarinet

I live in the Philadelphia area, a pretty active one musically, and I've not been able to find rental outlets for students who need either A or C clarinets for short periods. The problem is that no music outlet will want to rent from their new stock (immediately devaluing the instruments because they become used). Very few if any keep used instruments around to use as rentals except for vendors who run school band instrument rental programs, which are limited to Bb clarinets. So, your best bet may be to find an inexpensive used Noblet or Evette C and take the plunge once. After that you'll have it any time the need comes up in the future. A repair shop might have one that is being sold on consignment for a customer who has upgraded to a better C clarinet.

Or plan to play the part on a Bb clarinet.

Good luck!

Karl
