Is the Selmer Soloist a good clarinet for a HS student? How does it compare to other intermediate Selmer's? How does it compare to the Buffet E-11? What other wood models would you recommend for an intermediate HS student?thanks

yes the selmer soloist is a very good choice for a HS student, definitely a better choice then an e11. i've played both and felt that the e11 had more resistance to the soloist. used soloists go around $200-300. there's been good reviews on the lyrique clarinet by tom ridenour, haven't tried one myself, but sherman friedland has been very consistent on reccomendations so I wouldn't hesitate to try one if i was in the market.

Which Selmer Soloist were you referring to? Isn't there a new Selmer Soloist available new now as opposed to the Signet Soloist of years ago? The older Signet Soloist was a nice intermediate clarinet. I've never tried the new Soloist.
