Thank you so much for your advice till now.
Ridenour doesn's seem to be available around here.
My problem with buying as used clarinet would be that I am not able to play good enough myself yet to judge if it is a good instrument. I hear that playing throath Bb, a and g sharp will give a good indication about how good the instrument is? I have experimented a lot already to try to get those better sounding on the buffet b12, but it still sound very different from the lower and higher notes.
Do you have other tips? I also know how to check for leaks (the b12 does... even though it is a new one). How can I recognize repaired cracks? On what part of the clarinet they are most likely to be if there are any?
What is the difference in sound between the Yamaha 450 and the 650?
I hear yamaha is very consistent in quality, so the chance of buying a 'monday morning clarinet' is probably less. Is it true you can make a yamaha sound warmer if needed by buying another type of moutpiece?
