Hey everyone!

I'm a former trumpet student (studied for about 4 years) and got tired from the instrument. I always wanted to play the clarinet and recently I found an oportunity to do it. I found a good quality used Vito Resotone 3, with everything original in a good shape. Is this a good instrument? Unfortunately, we have high taxes where I live, so all the major brands are quite expensive around here.

Some questions I have:

What are the main challenges on the clarinet compared to the trumpet?

Would it take a similar amount time to get a playable level at the clarinet (like it is with the trumpet)?

Is the clarinet an instrument that forgives you for not practicing everyday (like trumpet does)?

Is the clarinet embochure as hard as the trumpet?

Is switching to the bass clarinet a hard task?

In your opinion, even if I don't find the ideal instrument to begin, should I buy the instrument I can (to begin my studies) or should I wait until I can get a decent gear?

Thanks everyone in advance!
