Re: A Clarinet Questions

An A clarinet much like other "utility horns" are NOT student horns. This is why student versions aren't usually an option.

DO NOT buy a $150 Chinese clarinet. I had a student that was so proud of a Mendini clarinet (his parents even upped the game to a wooden one) he was gifted for Christmas. He dumped it a year later because it was always broken. Also, even when brand new it did NOT play close to in tune with the other students at the high school. I found him a 54mm barrel (believe it or not) that got him up to pitch but I knew him only through group work and don't know how well the internal pitch was working (I have my doubts).

Rent or borrow from a local gigging teacher or student.
