Ditto, on the 4C ... I've had several (came with new instruments) and given them away. Harsh.
For least expensive, I vote for the Fobes Debut or Hite Premier ... IMHO, the Hite is better and easier to control with a warmer sound, but less contestant from MP to MP. A good teacher/player should assist in selection. Couple this with a Legere Classic #3 and you have a winner. No fuss, no muss. Easy to play and reliable.
Lately, I have revisted the Reserve X0 with Pilgerstorfer Dolce reeds, and it is doing it for me. So ... I'd give the Reserve MPs a shot ... maybe before considering the Hite or Fobes. Clear, responsive, but with a light woolen sweater pulled over the sound.
A Ridenour Lyrique 576 clarinet with these MPs and you will eliminate 90% of the equipment problems, and the beginner can concentrate on making music and not fighting his setup.
I wish I had such beginner stuff when I got started ... !! Wow, it is so much better than what we had in 1963 ...
