Buyin a new clarinet

Author: longtin23

Hi all,
If you know, my clarinet has a few problems or demages, including the cork of the mouthpiece, pads, and the keys. It causes me about HK$2000, which is around USD260.
What I am considering is buying a new model, or repair it. My original one is a E12 Buffet. After this year, I will go to the University and not quite sure will I join the band there, but I will still play it during spare time. Should I buy a new one? Which model?

Thanks everyone...

Have the E12 repaired. Should you ever need a "better" clarinet, you'll likely make up for the expenses if you want to sell the E12. ("Recently serviced" fetches more money than "in need of repair"...).

Good advice!
