Re: Advice on "first" instrument

If the pads are ok, then getting a student level clarinet which otherwise needs some work and adjustment is no bad thing, as it offers an opportunity to do this yourself and develop some capabilities which are valuable for the future. It's all about patience and care in making small adjustments, but it's not rocket science. There are quite a few reputable techs on YouTube offering tutorials for the various adjustments and more straightforward repairs, so clearly they don't believe that these are beyond the abilities of ordinary people with some practical ability.

Mostly I think that people will tend to know for themselves if they are up to it or not. Being nervous about doing it yourself is a healthy place to start however.
