Hank,

I don't mean to say I know any more than Dr.Thomas in fact I know WAAY less but I am skeptical of her claim just because I've never had the problem she described and no other clarinet player who has played my e11 has pointed out that particular issue. She may well be right, but I am hesitant to just sell the clarinet I have used these past couple of years just because one person says so. If I was to sell it on eBay I certainly would not be marketing it as being in excellent condition but I would like to think I could still get at least $500 for it. If not then it's not really worth selling to me.

Ken,

The base line libertas brand new is about $960 which is a bit out of my price range. Although I would not be opposed to a ridenour, I would just have to buy used.

Chris,

I guess I'm wrong about the age. Somebody told once that it was from the 70s and it's definitely not an Evette.

I would love to have a Selmer CT but unfortunately I don't think it's quite suited for classical music. The Leblancs are nice but a bit expensive. Isn't the Yamaha 650 a professional instrument?
