...if the Normandy we're talking about here is an all-wooden model, it already IS a step-up clarinet.
If it's not cracked, shabby-looking, has flaking nickel plate, or otherwise damaged, I suggest that the best value would be a top-notch overhaul of the Normandy combined with the addition of a carefully selected, professional-quality mouthpiece.
If the person playing the Normandy is just tired of it and wants something else, that's fine too. To get something truly head-and-shoulders better than a good Normandy, a Yamaha YCL-650 or Ridenour Lyrique 576BC are really remarkable instruments for the money.
Very few, if any, band directors and private clarinet teachers would disapprove of anyone upgrading to a Yamaha YCL-650.
