Hello,
A familiar story; a father whose daughter came home from school and asked to join 5th grade band. After the meet-and-greet and initial fitting, she chose clarinet.
The people from the local music store have been very nice. However, I was hesitant to buy a new clarinet for what might turn out to be a passing interest. And I just have a general dislike for the idea of renting long term. Enter Craigslist.
I found (Edit: and purchased) a clean Buffet B12 from a nice family whose daughter had given up band. It also has a Hite Premiere mouthpiece. The local store gave it a clean bill of health.
I play it cool around my daughter, but I'm one very excited dad.
I've been lurking a bit, reading the archives, finding answers. I'm sure I'll have more questions.
Thanks,
Mike
