Patricola rosewood clarinet(s)

Hi, everyone.

I am new to this group, so I don't know if this has been covered. I have been playing
with a local opera orchestra for 17 years and, I have to admit, I am finally tired of
transposing all of the parts written for C Clarinet. I have a Bb and an A (Buffet R-13),
but I think it's time for a C clarinet. Since I'm in Huntsville, Alabama and also have limited
time to travel, I will probably have to contact someone like Woodwind Brasswind and
have a couple clarinets sent to me, try them, send them back, then try some more, etc.
My main question is about the Patricola rosewood clarinets. Can anyone tell me how the
rosewood clarinets play/sound? Also, I am not looking for a $5,000 horn. I am not a
professional musician (I am a computer geek by day), so I am mainly looking for something
in the $900 - $1,200 range. (Now that I think about it, if anyone can share their ideas about
the best C clarinet to get in that price range, rosewood or not, I'd appreciate it.)

Thanks,
