Don't get the cart before the horse!!
First find a good mouthpiece, THEN shop for clarinets (my favorite mouthpiece is made by VanDoren). I don't know the history, whether your daughter has ever played before-but if she has, have her try out the instrument (with the good mouthpiece)and THEN decide from the ones she/you like (tone, ease of play, sheer preference)you'd consider buying. Remember that just because it has a good brand name doesn't necessarily mean she'll enjoy playing it more. I have two clarinets (Bb), one is a Buffet R-13, one is a Barbier-nearly 100 years old. My personal preference is the old one, cost me all of $400 - 12 years ago!
