 Top Ten Best Clarinets?

Yeah, it's a matter of opinion, but this top 10 list is way off the mark! Naturally you'd expect big names like Buffet, Selmer, Yamaha and others, but somehow they don't have what it takes to make the list which was compiled by a certain David Mahon https://singersroom.com/content/author/davidmahon/

Digest the following list in your own time:

And I give you a summary of the three of the Top 10 clarinet brands (according to this list) you'll never hear of again in a few months, that's only if you haven't heard of them to begin with:

Eastrock: Eastrock is a brand that has been in the market for a while and known for producing high-quality instruments at an affordable price point. Eastrock clarinets are made with the highest quality materials and are designed to meet the needs of students and beginner musicians. They are easy to play, durable and offer a great value for the money.

Vangoa: Vangoa is a brand that focuses on producing high-quality clarinets at an affordable price. Vangoa clarinets are made of durable ABS resin and are equipped with nickel-plated 17 keys for smooth playing. They offer a full range of accessories, such as gloves, a screwdriver, cleaning cloth, shoulder strap, cork joint lubricant, leather wooden case, and a clarinet stand.


Hisonic: Hisonic is a brand that offers a wide range of clarinets for all skill levels. Hisonic Signature Series 2610 Bb Orchestra Clarinet is a popular choice among professionals and advanced players. The clarinet is made of ebonite and is equipped with nickel-silver keys. It also includes a protective plush lined case, mouthpiece with reed protector, cork grease, and a clarinet swab.

Maybe if Buffet offered “Italian felt double sheep casings” they’d make it into the top 10…
