How many clarinets do you own?

[super20dan]

i ended up with so many Bb,s because i go to pawnshops often. i see them so cheap its hard to pass up. i paid 200 for my r13 as an example

[DaveLeBlanc]

$200 for an R13 is an insane deal. Those regularly trade for $1,000+.

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.

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.
