This looks good, and is very moderately priced. But unless you can talk with someone who has one, you should look at this as a $150USD experiment.

Some issues:
- Throat tones will be relatively soft.
- Notes with all fingers down (low E, 3rd line B) will be relatively louder.
- The detachable cable is a feature you want - it will pull out rather than break when (not if) somebody steps on it.
- How good it sounds will depend on how good a mike it is (no surprise.)
- Even if clarinet mechanism is in top shape to avoid key-click, there will be some incidental noise.

My <other brand> mike meets my needs well. It was a little more expensive, and produces and adequate, but not great sound. My local, competent technician installed it in a no-name plastic barrel, which actually tunes and responds very well. But, the main goal was to get a clean signal for processing, not necessarily the best live sound possible. This setup is also handy for outdoor events, when masking out wind noise from an external microphone is difficult. But without a damper pedal under your control, you cannot play "off mike".
