NO!

The Buffet B12 is a worthless piece of crap. Poor internal intonation (from note to note) that cannot be fixed due to zero attention to the bore or precise placement of tone holes.

The Jupiter should be fine. Others to look for (inexpensive) would be an older plastic Vito or even perhaps Bundy. For a step up, a good threshold might be around $400 dollars (perhaps a bit more in British Sterling......not sure what the used market and availability is out there).

Congrats on the Jupiter and your voyage with playing the clarinet.
