Re: Tips for trialing a new clarinet

When I bought my clarinet, I also had to check the ergonomics of the instrument as the key positions and lengths vary quite a lot between different manufacturers, and my hands didn't fit some brands nearly so well.

I get the impression that people do play for more than 15 minutes when evaluating an instrument to buy. I mean the ones in shops get tested by loads of people at different times of the year, and I really doubt that anyone is clock watching when they are thinking about handing over £2,500.

When I went to buy mine I also took my husband, because it is him that has to listen to me play and I wanted to be sure that he liked the sound. If you have it at home then hopefully your regular audience will be there to let you know their thoughts too.
