Re: Is my current Clarinet enough?

As an educator you will find that you don't have to play so much at all. The idea is knowing what your students need to know so that you can correct errors and lead them in the right direction.

As you say, if you spend more time on other instruments (such as bass clarinet) then there is no need to be picky about your soprano Bb.

Although I would say that I have never run into an instrument quite as bad as the Buffet B12 (at least one above $30). The problem with the B12 is that the intonation is all over the map. You play one note, and it's at one pitch center, then move to the next note only to find it much sharper, move to the next note only to find it is somewhere in between or even flat to the first. HORRIBLE

But if you only need to know fundamentals and teach fundamentals, I see no conflict.
