The advantage of the modern plastic student Clarinets today such as the Jupiter 631 and the Schreiber 6010s is their high quality finish and intonation and they are consistent from one instrument to another.
Seeing that this is the standard for the 'Beginners' models then the 'Intermediate' models of the above examples would be excellent Clarinets as an upgrade for someone who is not going professional ect.
I myself use the above student Clarinets in my work playing at outdoor weddings and recitals at retirement villages ect. They are my 'knock-about instruments.
I match them up with a good quality mouthpiece and sometimes a ridenour barrel and get a full bodied sound out of them.
These plastic Clarinets have come a long way from what they were like 20 years or so ago. I hear that the Vito is also excellent.
Why waste time and money on a brand like Buffet which is inconsistant from one instrument to another not to mention the second grade wood that is being used on their lower end models these days.
