Hi everyone. New to the forum. A bit of an interesting question. I have wanted to play a “low pitched” reed instrument since I played the trumpet in high school. Having played the trumpet, pretty much anything that’s not a soprano is lower pitched than it 😂 Anyways, I have been researching different instruments that may help me “satisfy” my music cravings, and I care across the alto clarinet. I had never really heard of it during my years in high school band or college orchestra. I’m leaning towards the alto clarinet for price reasons, but also because I do love how it sounds/it’s range. My question: I found a refinished student level alto clarinet from Taylor Music Inc, for $375. Would a student instrument be ok for my purpose of just starting out and wanting to play casually? Does anyone have any experience dealing with Taylor Music? Does $375 seem too cheap to anyone else?? I would really appreciate the help anyone can give!!
Also, aside from playing Trumpet, I played Bassoon a little my freshman year, and fell in LOVE with the bass clarinet as well. I have experience playing the “bigger” single reed instruments (tenor sax, alto sax, bass clarinet,) but as far as I can tell, a bass clarinet would be out of my budget range.
