Hi,
I'm new to the forums, but not new to playing, although it's been several years since I have.
My last clarinet was stolen some 13 years ago from my house, and I've been grieving for it ever since. Now that my kids are teens and in band, I've really been wanting to play again, and the hubby as okayed me to buy a used instrument. I had a wooden Selmer after having used a plastic Normandy for years, and loved it, so I'm wanting to go that way again.
I've found what appears to be a older instrument on eBay, described as a "Conn vintage rosewood". I'm not sure what is considered vintage, and I don't know if this particular model is worth trying. Can someone tell me how this one is rated as far as overall quality? I know what to look for as far as the condition of the instrument, but I'm more concerned about getting something of quality that I'll be happy with in my price range.
Thanks!
