Fine Instrument

2008-06-20
I got this clarinet back in high school, when it was obvious I was "outgrowing" my beginner plastic clarinet from Selmer. I majored on clarinet in college, and this lady was with me all the way. Updated with a more advanced mouthpiece (Gigliotti P-facing), I was principal clarinetist for my college's symphonic band for the two years I majored in music.

Then I put it down for a while. Thirteen years later, I picked it up again to play in a community orchestra. I had to "downgrade" my mouthpiece because I had lost my chops, but with a Fobes Nova, I still get beautiful, full sound out of this instrument.

In my tenure as a music major, tutor, section leader and band assistant, I have played on many models of clarinet, granted, mostly student models. I'm always glad to get my hands back on my lady. I shall never part with her.

You wouldn't want to spend the money for this clarinet for a beginner, but when your beginner has progressed and is ready to upgrade, this instrument will suit him or her well. From a high school band member, to an intensive college clarinet major.

Great

This is a great clarinet. It is perfect for a high school student, like me, who is serious about developing their talent, but is unsure if they are ready for a professional level instrument. The tone is beautiful and amazing compared to the plastic beginner level clarinets that most students own. If you buy this, remember it cannot be used for marching, as wooden clarinets should not be exposed to outdoor weather. This will cause the wood to warp and crack. Also, I suggest buying this from an instrument store and through school music department, if possible. Music teachers can get you a huge discount. I paid $750 for mine brand new, with the normal cost at about $1500. Also, can test out the instrument for a while before paying anything.

Nice sound.

This clarinet provides good sound at a reasonable cost. My daughter prefers having her own instrument over using the one provided by the school. She is becoming a serious music student, and this clarinet provides her an opportunity to care for her own musical instrument as she becomes more accomplished. Her music teacher was pleased with our choice.

This clarinet is great!
