I've read a bit on other threads about how the Noblet is such a steal. I constantly see them for less than 100 dollars in working condition. I'm looking into purchasing one soon because a student yamaha is more than that and I am on a tight budget.
Is the noblet going to be too old to work for a long time (as in the rest of my career until I can purchase a nice new clarinet - aiming for a R13 maybe a decade or 2 in the future)? I notice it is quite old, not in comparison to a Mark VI alto, but still a sort of "vintage" instrument. My biggest concern is whether the noblet will ever inhibit my learning experience on the clarinet.
*EDIT* What would be a modern clarinet of comparison? (obviously used and about the same 100-200 price range)
