Re: Intermediate A Clarinets?

So, now it is for a school system. Shouldn't matter. Sounds like you really want somebody to tell you: "Why, YES! You're so right! The Bliss is the BEST!"

Sorry, you won't hear that from me. The Bliss is an okay intermediate instrument, and that is all it will ever be. A pretty looking student horn. I do have some friends that purchased a Bliss for a second "road" horn. They sound quite pedestrian to me. Sorry.

I personally like the flat finish of the Ridenour. Looks and feels better. You want shiney? Go for a plastic horn. Oh, I forgot - no plastic A clarinets out there, really. Also - a hard rubber instrument cannot have silver or silver-plated keys. The chemical reaction would blacken the keys in quick fashion.

Have you really tested the new A clarinet?
