Currently renting a Selmer Plastic Clarinet #1401
In reading the forum I've come across many who mention the Selmer CL300 and Yamaha YCL-20. Should we buy my rental, or switch to one of the other models? We bought a better mouthpiece to go with my rental, it's by Fobes? I think. Any input is appreciated. I will be a 5th grader next fall, starting my 2nd year of clarinet.

i'd say to ask your band teacher before you buy a rental instrument, some rentals are very good, like the piccolo i rented and ended up buying, but some instruments, like the flute i rented from 4th-6th grade, are just junk. if you are going to be playing the clarinet for any number of years, make sure it's in good condition before you buy it. make sure there are no cracks and the pads are all in very good condition - it's expensive to repair. stick with band - the clarinet's a great instrument!

hi chris, well, i began playin clarinet two and a half years ago, but not exactly callingmyself a prdigy, but ive accomplish alot in two and half years and already have a professional tone. If you want to continue playin for some time, use a wooden horn, a buffet R 11 or 12 and a 5 RV Liar mouthpiece, its great to bring out the sound. Best of luck, mingo
