Re: Making the best out of a bad deal

Sounds like 2 things going on: feeling that you've been cheated; and horn envy. Don't worry about the first point - you love the tone of your clarinet - so contact the vendor (or post a review if it was online) and point out the miselling but keep the clarinet and don't buy any more equipment unless there's really something that you don't like about your sound

And don't worry about the second point either. Just because someone has a more expensive instrument doesn't necessarily make them sound better and definitely doesn't make them a better musician. Take the camp opportunity to see what the differences are, if any, between the different clarinets. See if you can hear the difference between an R13 and a Leblanc. See which R13 player has your favourite sound and find out why - is it the reed, or their air support, or embouchure etc.
