Buyer’s Guide

How to Choose a Clarinet?

Most musical students believe that there is only one type of clarinet which is Bb. It is true that the clarinets in most bands are Bb.

However, that’s not true since there are different types of clarinets such as such as such as the A, the E in the soprano family and the contra alto and contra bass. There are also other types of clarinets available but we can say that these are the most common ones.

If you’re a new clarinet student, then, you’re probably looking for a Bb clarinet since it is the one that is easiest to learn and play. Therefore, if you’re a student member of the band, a Bb clarinet is probably your best option.

Other than the clarinet type, you should also consider the budget limit, material and sound quality, and easiness to play.

What are Clarinets Made of?

There are two different material used when making clarinets which are wood and plastic. Plastic clarinets tend to be less expensive but it doesn’t mean that there is no good in buying a plastic clarinet.

A plastic clarinet is a great choice for beginner or younger students since they are more durable in terms of durability. They will be much more against dropping and other rough handling. It is also a good idea to get a plastic clarinet if you’re in a marching band since the chance th.at you will drop your clarinet is a little bit higher.

Also, the material used when making a clarinet doesn’t matter much for the sound quality and that is why getting a plastic clarinet would make more sense if you’re just starting out.

If you’re a more advanced clarinet player, it makes sense to get a wooden clarinet since they can produce a deeper, warmer and a better sound which is important because even the slightest difference in the sound quality might make a difference if you’re in a band etc. As for the price, a wooden clarinet tends to be more expensive, so, we suggest getting a wooden clarinet only if you’re an advanced player.

How Much Does a Clarinet Cost?

The quality and the price range of clarinets in the market can change a lot and the product that you should get really depends on what you’re looking for. It makes sense to get a very expensive clarinet made by Yamaha if you’re an advanced player.

However, it might not make sense if you’re a new clarinet student since you don’t know whether you’re going to stick with the habit and use your clarinet for a long time. In that case, there are a lot of great options like Mendini MCT-E+SD+PB Black B Flat Clarinet that has almost all the features that more expensive clarinets have.
