Actually, I am more involved in this thread than I first imagined in that the instruments I own and play mirror the cars my wife and I actually drive now or have previously owned.

My #1 Clarinet is a Yamaha CS Custom = I drive an Acura TL (It's a wolf in sheep's clothing just like this clarinet; it does everything an R13 does at a cheaper price. The TL is fast with a nice, quiet V6, has surround sound and GPS, and can get 34 mpg. on the road).

My #1 Bass Clarinet is a Selmer Series 9 to low Eb = Just like the Lexus LS400 I ended up putting 150,000 miles and then my son put another 80K on it. It is probably still going.

Clarinet #2 is a 1980s Leblanc L200 = The Lexus LS400 again. Once the very best but still able to hold its own.

Bass Clarinet #2 is a Ridenour 925e = Wife's car is a Honda Accord Crosstour (Extremely dependable, has all the needed stuff like V6, GPS, great stereo, 4-wheel drive, hatchback...).

With my cars as well as my instruments, I tend to stay just below the radar. My Mark VI alto and tenor would definitely be Mercedes Benz of some sort.
