Re: Buying a new Clarinet

You could see if there are any kids at your school who have played for a few years and are giving up and selling their instrument. Perhaps an advert on the notice board at school would be allowed seeking a second hand instrument. You might pick up something cheap that just needs a little adjusting and that someone is glad to get off their hands with no fuss. The board here is full of recommendations for beginner clarinets - you need to have a skim through these with an eye to the ones which are mentioned as being more robust (i.e. unlikely to need as much work to make them playable for you.) As you are marching it it would seem vastly more sensible to go for resin/hardrubber etc rather than wood. If you get a second hand one now and then look for a better one if you are still playing later and dont need to march it, you probably wont have lost a significant amount in resale value, unlike if you found a new one and then resold.
