Well, enough of horror stories. I have a good story. Two weeks ago I bought a nicely refurbished Yahama SE(V) clarinet online from SaxQuest in St. Louis, Mo. The instrument, expertly adjusted by Audrey Denny, was covered inside the case with a protective layer of bubble packing material. The lock snaps on the case were tightly shut and the case protector snugly zipped. The clarinet arrived in a very large box filled with a bucket full of big styrofoam beads.
When I opened the case, the clarinet was bright and shiny, undamaged, with pads perfectly seated and sealing, all spring mechanisms working, and in fine mechanical adjustment. If you're looking for a used clarinet in great shape, safely delivered to your door, I suggest considering SaxQuest. They sell many used brands including Buffet, Selmer, LeBlanc, Yamaha, a Rossi now and then, and others. On their website, I even got to hear Audrey Denny play an etude on the Yamaha SE before I bought it. So some folks out there are doing it right.
