It depends on why you are buying the clarinet.

Older instruments need more maintenance.

I just finished overhauling a 1940s vintage Buffet. The keys were soft. The wood was soft and hard to work with. The bore looked rough. I was happy that no keys broke when I was adjusting them, and it did not play great when I was done I (It played fine - but I would prefer a good intermediate clarinet). This is typical, although there are exceptions.

My apologies to those of you who love your old instruments.
