I am a 71 years old beginner student of flute, and I'd like to buy my first clarinet, but I have a limited budget.
What would you choose between a brand new Jean Paul clarinet, made in China but apparently of decent quality, and an old Yamaha YS26 completely refurbished and cleaned by a professional? The Jean Paul is sold for $249.00. The Yamaha that I mentioned is sold on E Bay for around 240.00 and shows pictures of the clarinet taken apart for refurbishing. Thank you for your opinion.

Gerardo, did you find a clarinet yet?

I do understand what you say. Of course, an ancient yutz like me doesn't know one format from another....

I said the "format" was far superior. The "other" forum is laughably ancient, clunky and featureless. It would be great to get those folks to migrate over here. But I can't control that any more than I could get people to move from VHS to Betamax back in the day. It has to happen organically.

lydian-- If it gets far fewer traffic than other clarinet forums, why is it "far superior"? Due to the lack of threads/posts I may visit here once a month. Maybe time to change the situation? You said you'll try to post more, which I look forward to. Others need to take notice as well.

It's not entirely easy to separate personal instruments from historical oddities and repair inventory.

I have six metal ones, and two wood ones that are worth mentioning. Two plastic sopranos that are playable that I plan to keep, and a plastic bass.

I've only ever owned one clarinet, a 1989 Vito 7214 which was given to me by a friend in 1989. I do have quite a few saxophones though. I've had far more opportunities on sax over the years than clarinet. If I played more, I suppose I'd have a reason to upgrade. Vito still plays well enough. Can't complain.
