My wooden clarinet barely survided 5 years of Jr & Sr high school. Kids don't treat a horn right. Now, if you are talking about getting a pro horn for a Jr or Senior who is going to study music in College, yes, it makes sense. Otherwise, put the difference in the bank and see if the kid is still playing when you are shopping for college graduation presents.

That may be true for some kids but my friend has had a Prestige R13 for about 5 years now and and she's only 14. I know for a fact she babies her horn and its in immaculate condition. I think the way someone treats their clarinet depends on how much dedication they have towards playing, and if the student is totally dedicated than,yes, geet a pro line, if not get a student grade. Your commentsmake it seem as though we kids have no care and respect for our instruments.
