Re: Advice requested on A clarinet purchase

I got lucky when I purchased my A Clarinet. I needed one for a performance of Mozart's Quintet with my fellow string players so I just got an Amarti Klaslice from Lamberti's of Melbourne here in Australia. What arrived was a beautiful looking Clarinet that was a full Boehm with silver plated keys and wood that looked close grained with a lovely black brownish colour. It was the ACL 675. It was a bit of a risk just buying it without testing it first before purchasing considering the reputation of Amati Clarinets with poor quality wood that regularly cracked. (So I've since read about) Turned out that this A Clarinet has had no problems at all with wood cracking. Even the full Boehm mechanism has stayed in adjustment quite well. It has a lovely tone and good tonality. It is a bit heavy to hold though but it's seldom used now so it's mostly in storage and only brought out to be checked occasionally.
