The Boosey 1010 is a world-class instrument.

It is also a "large bore" or "English school" design - it has a distinct sound that can be a bit much for beginning players to control.

The standard "French school" design clarinets are more flexible in dynamic control and familiar to most instructors. I would recommend considering such an instrument if your instructor has admonished the other player to make a change...

FYI - The older Boosey clarinets, made before the Acton vent design change seem to be better players.

If it was me, I wouldn't sell the Boosey to make way for another instrument - I would find another teacher.
