Re: Vintage versus Newer Equipment

I purchased a vintage Noblet eb clarinet (~1975ish). I bough it off ebay without play testing it, assuming that as long as the wood and keys were good that I could get it restored to workable condition. If money was not an option, I would have preferred to buy a new instrument though.

In my own cost-benefit analysis, I determined that buying a used instrument and paying for a refurbishment was best for me considering 1: I never played on a eb instrument before, and 2: I was not sure how long I would be playing the eb parts in our band. Forking out $5K for a new instrument did not seem like a smart move. Maybe if I keep playing eb for a few years, I will look for a replacement instrument. Most likely the replacement will be a used instrument too since the price of new instruments is really crazy high.
