No need to apologize. If someone wants the easy way out by not researching and reading then they deserve what they get. In this case I think YLW wasn't shirking his/her duties, but being a comple novice at choosing, has no real idea where to begin and the posts talking about mouthpieces, ligatures, barrels, and clarinets can be overwhelming at best.

For most students in the first few years (and some with many years under their belt) the idea of where they've been and what or whether equipment will help them get where they want to go is still foreign concept. I've seen too many cases where the equipment isn't helping ...
