I play with an Amati G and an Amati Bb albert system as my main clarinets, mostly because I could afford them.

They're mechanically sound and I substantially improved the tone and playability (particularly between registers) of the G by having my repair fellow sand the bore smooth (subtly) and then he coated it with some sort of epoxy and polished it.

I also have a clark w fobes mouthpiece which is very forgiving. The intonation on the Bb is a bit grim but the G is ok.

And I really think that the tone of the Amati is somehow hollow... I can't think of a better word to describe it, but certainly when you hear Selim Sesler's albums you can tell when he is on the Amati, and I don't like it as much.

But they are outstanding value for money and easy to obtain. You can hear me play my Bb here (you'll have to sit through a minute of me flogging my music school and please forgive me labelling what I play as gypsy... it's just easier that way)
