I purchased this Clarinet for my child, as an alternative to the school rental Clarinet. I wasn't thrilled with paying $50 a month for a rental...and really didn't want to buy an $800 dollar Clarinet for a child that wasn't sure if he really wanted to play. I played and learned both instruments with my child, as extra incentive to help him stay interested.
The produced arrive on time, and the build quality looked very similar to the more expensive rental. The sound quality was something else entirely.
Even using the same reeds, this instrument needed more effort in order to achieve the same level of play. I was never quite as happy with the sound of this instrument as I was with the rental. For an 8 year old in beginning band, I decided that cheaper was still the way to go...or I probably would have returned the item. I really can't recommend this product. |
Great value but my 8 year old struggled a bit to get some notes out of it

| I purchased this for my 8 year old son to play for beginning band. It took him awhile to get some notes out of it. On the plus side, little to no squealing. It is hard for him to assemble/disassemble but I am going to have him leave it assembled for a couple of weeks as another reviewer suggested and see if that helps. |
Super value

| This clarinet plays as well as it looks. The case is very nice and the price is super too. You can't go wrong with this one. |

| Good quality for it's price. My daughter played on it for 2 years. Needed to replace pads only once. If you rent instrument you will end up paying twice and three times the instrument. For beginner instrument I belive this is a good quality and it pays within few months only. |
GREAT VALUE!

| I bought this clarinet to pick up where I had left off..oh ..about 25 years ago! I am happily making music! This is a wonderful beginner clarinet, has a nice sound, and is very easy to play. It comes with everything you need to start playing and the quality is good. I am very happy with my purchase and would certainly consider other Suzuki instruments. |
