Not really to be honest, Dan. I am a high school senior. I remember when I was in 6th grade, I was the only one who bought my clarinet a few weeks before school started. Everyone else bought it sometime in September, given that we started school around the middle of August. My band director took time in welcoming us in, demonstrating every instrument, etc.

I really do think it is a lot about brands. At the start of 6th grade, I played piano and was planning on playing the clarinet in band. I had no idea what clarinet I should buy. Luckily my piano teacher also taught clarinet and later became my clarinet teacher, and he selected an instrument for me (happens to still be Buffet). But when my parents did research for me back then, they saw that Buffet was the most popular brand, and were about to buy me one as well.

Beginners really don't know how to choose instruments. They will go for what's popular...
