I love the alto clarinet. I love the mellow tone that it gets...maybe as I get older, I hear the middle ranges better than the higher ranges (I still love Eb soprano too though, so maybe that's not it), but I just love the feel and sound of a good alto with a good mouthpiece. I own two altos, a very good Selmer from the 60's and a Yamaha from the 90's. The Yamaha especially feels like a basset horn...just beautiful sounding. A Grabner alto mouthpiece is also well worth whatever it costs.
For the cost of the alto off ebay, the mouthpiece from Walter and the repair bills, you've got a great, fun horn for half the cost of a good Buffet clarinet. Find (or start) a clarinet choir and enjoy it.
