This goes along with what Norbert said.

Clarinets are easily damaged and again, trying to play a damaged clarinet is awful. I would know, as I took my concert clarinet in a total 5 times to two different people trying to find out what was wrong with it.(Turns out the guy that had repadded it before I bought it was a bit careless in his work. He scorched the finish in several places with whatever heating implement he used to melt the adhesive. The problem turned out to be a very poorly attached pad. One side would close and grip perfectly, the other side never came close.) But I digress. My plastic clarinet(also my first) is a Selmer CL300. I've never had a problem with it. It's light and easily maintained. Besides, my clarinet teacher told me that Yamaha clarinets tend to have a certain flaw. He never told me exactly what it is though.
