Re: Testing A LOT of clarinets reviewed

I'm glad you guys enjoyed reading! Dear Christian, I must have gotten two lucky Traditions but one of them was slightly better. The largest quality difference I noticed was in the six R13's I tried. Some were worse than the Serenades I tried and the best one I tried felt similar to the Protege in Grenadilla but I marked the R13 lower because of the quality differences. I wanted to try some Yamaha's (specifically the YCL-650) but unfortunately the store is not a Yamaha dealer. I started playing an old plastic Yamaha and I remember that clarinet played great all those years ago. I also recently played a YCL-450 and was very impressed. After playing just the 450, it makes me think that the higher end pro Yamaha clarinets might have dominated this list if they were at the store.

Thanks,
Lukas Johnson
