RE: What's the S1?

Well it seems we're all about the same opinion on this item. Glad to hear all the input. I'd heard a few things (all negative) about these clarinets and since I found this just "skimming" over the eBay page I thought I'd ask. I agree that $1,200.00 seems way, way too high for a clarinet of such an undistinguished reputation. Yes, you could get a very nice R-13 for that price and would prefer it over the S1 any day of the week.

I'm not looking for myself, but am always "looking" if you know what I mean. I buy when I find something that looks really great.

Stuffy clarinets are not my idea of a great buy. I just returned a Selmer Signature I had on approval for a friend because it was "stuffy." Seems like the S1 has the same plague.

Still love my Greenline R-13. Wow! What a great tone! I've heard there are professionals cropping up everywhere with them for studio work! I can see the benefits--not as prone to temperature changes as the regular wood R-13. It's very smooth also! Gotta get one of these, guys!
