Please Think Twice
I strongly do not recommend this instrument to any potential buyer. I had a new clarinet student who was given this clarinet by her parents who were not experienced clarinet buyers. When my student recieved this clarinet it could not be peiced together. The corks were in need of considerable sanding. Also It was very difficult to keep the clarinet in tune. Even a beginning player should have had an easier time with it. Those parents looking for a cheap instrument for their new music student should think twice and buy something with more quality. A child who posseses this instrument can become easily discouraged and will want to give up because they think playing it is too difficult. A decent beginners clairinet will quickly help. Ask a reputable dealer for suggetions. It will make a world of difference to your child.
