Buying tips: Nowadays all starter clarinets use a standard arrangement of keys known as the Boehm system. The key mechanism is usually silver-plated and the body molded from ABS plastic. This reduces cost compared with a wooden clarinet, and makes it more resistant to moisture and mechanical damage. There are different sizes of clarinet, but the one in B-flat is the most widely used by beginners. Price is a good indicator of quality, and cheaper instruments are more difficult and costly to maintain. A fully serviced pre-owned instrument from a reputable manufacturer is always a good low-risk purchase for a beginner. Click here to see our current stock of pre-owned clarinets.
