Choosing your first clarinet.
There are so many makes and models on offer, and such a range of prices that you need some guidance. If you already have a teacher, it is well worth asking his advice. It isn't much fun to arrive for your first lesson to find that the teacher doesn't like the one you have bought!
The first issue to consider when purchasing a clarinet is what your budget will allow.There are two types of clarinets available for students, wood or plastic/ABS. Usually the plastic clarinets are less expensive, . When you look at a wood clarinet, you can see the grain in the wood.
The plastic clarinet is usually shiny, although there are some matte finish plastic clarinets available.There are distinct advantages for each of these types of clarinets. Wood clarinets are generally made of African Grenadilla wood, and provide a warmer, more professional sound than plastic. Professionals exclusively use wood clarinets, but plastic is more durable and can take more abuse especially from young students. Since wood expands and contracts with temperature changes, it must not be left in cold or hot temperatures for too long, as the wood will try to contract or expand, but the metal key-work will not. This could cause the instrument to crack, and could render the instrument unplayable, or in need of serious repair.
