All,

Thanks for the discussion. Several followed up directly on clarinets better suited to younguns, which I will keep in mind if I have the opportunity to get to future students before they buy their first instrument. As I said in my first post, buying/renting another instrument for either of my current little ones is simply not going to be an option for the parents. Clearly there is no optimal solution, but thank you for the various suggestions on how to make it comfortable for them.

Probably a new thread in itself, but this does point to the need for either better training for school music instructors or consultation with professional instrument specialists to put kids/parents on the right track before they plunge big dollars into the venture. It seems to work out right for weejuns starting on 1/4-size violins, but on clarinet and saxophone, they hand the kids instruments that are as big as they are.
