Hi everyone! A friend alerted me to this thread and I wanted to clear up any confusion. We are aware of the website issues and they should be fixed now, so please let me know if you have any further trouble navigating it. If you get the popup, just refresh your browser. And if you do sign up, we will not spam you (that's not what we're trying to do!), but you will get a series of about 5 informative emails with 4-5 days in between each. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Also, one person asked about the material these clarinets are made of and who makes them. They are designed and manufactured by Yuan Gao, a very talented and accomplished clarinetist in his own right. He uses unstained grenadilla which he puts through an 8-year air drying process, so the instruments are far less likely to crack. The key work, which Gao manufactures himself, is solid piece die-cut, and is double plated in silver.
This Classical model is a professional instrument that we believe is direct competition with the R13. The reason it's only $2,000 and not $4,000 is not because of any corner-cutting in its design or manufacturing, but is because we choose to sell direct in order to make quality professional instruments more affordable to more people. If you think instrument prices have gotten out of hand, read our Music for Good Manifesto: http://www.royalmusicalinstruments.com/music-for-good/
And yes, Lisa Canning of Lisa's Clarinet Shop is the advisor to this company. If any of you know Lisa, she has been a Buffet dealer for the past 34 years and is a stickler for quality, and will not put her name to something or her reputation on the line if she doesn't think it's good enough. And just like LCS, the Royal clarinets are professionally adjusted and selected for the individual, included in the purchase price.
Someone also mentioned a forthcoming model, and yes, the Legend will be available in April. In June/July we anticipate our high-end model the Voce, and a bass clarinet is in the works for ICA this summer.
I'd be happy to answer any questions - please let me know!
