Re: Start clarinet on a pro instrument?

If you are taking lessons through a music store, it might be wise to rent a clarinet first. Many stores allow you to build credit with the rental and apply that toward the purchase of a new instrument later. I also suggest that you talk to your teacher and get their advice as well.

If you are determined to buy a clarinet, I suggest you buy a new instrument instead of a used instrument. With the new instrument, you should have a warranty and return period with which to test play and see if the instrument suits you.

They don't pay me or give me any free stuff, but I would be happy to recommend the Yamaha 255 as a good place to start. Yamaha has a well-deserved reputation for quality control and every Yamaha I have ever tried played great right out of the box. I bought a Yamaha 255 to use as my "outdoor" horn and it plays very well.

Cheers,

Ron
