I have to disagree with you Bob R. I play the viola, and if there is a big different between clarinet and other instruments such as the strings, it is that having inferior equipment doesn't make you a poor player. The clarinet is actually priced very very reasonably-- you can get a professional quality instrument for only around $500-1000, as compared to the tens of thousands of dollars that you would spend on a violin BOW alone! This is so amazing to me, that you don't have to have rich parents to sound good. In my opinion, the clarinet is definitely much more user friendly and easier to get into (in terms of price) than any other orchestra instrument.
