Re: What Clarinet to Buy?

Hi,

My husband is this week being very kind to me and buying me a clarinet, so I understand your situation very well. :-)

I think that the choice of a clarinet is very personal to the player, and there is a lot of careful work in making sure that it is in tune and that it fits the players hands. The choice of tone is also very individual to the player, so she will almost certainly want to be there to chose it herself.

Would it work if you tell your girlfriend that you would like to buy her a clarinet, and how much you could spend, and then offer to go along to the shop with her and be there with her while she chooses the instrument? Giving her your time and attention would be an incredibly valuable and kind thing, and it would be an experience that you would both remember for a very long time I think.

Clarinet-buying is a lot like buying a car, and it can be quite stressful and take a bit of time. Having you along with her will be a huge thing for her, quite apart from your kindness in offering to buy the instrument.

Good luck!
