Re: Tips for Trying Out Clarinets?

Thanks for all the advice!

I fully agree with most everything that’s been stated, I just want to clarify that I’m not looking to upgrade my clarinet believing it will magically make me better. I’ve played with this R13 for about 5 years and understand its strengths and limitations. One of the biggest problems with the instrument is that the 12ths are worse in opposite directions, and there’s not much I can do about that (For example low C# is about 30 cents flat, whereas clarion G# is around 20 cents sharp). I’ve worked around these issues for the time I’ve used it and it’s made me a better player, however I feel like the instrument is making my life unnecessarily difficult and I would benefit from selecting a horn that will serve me better.
