RECOMMENDED CLARINET BRANDS
Remember, it is important for your child to learn on a quality instrument. An instrument that does not function properly will make learning difficult, frustrating, and nearly impossible in some cases. Bargain brand instruments, often found online, can be made with inferior materials that do not hold up over time. These instrument companies do not make replacement parts for these instruments and most instrument repair companies are unwilling or unable to work on them. Please use the list below as a guide to purchasing your child a quality instrument.
Artley
Backun
Buffet
Bundy
Jupiter
Le Blanc
Noblet
Selmer
Vito
Yamaha
