Playing a clarinet badly is better than not playing a clarinet at all.

Nope , that\'s normally how harmonicas were made, I\'m also seen their outer casing made of ivory as well. They always had brass reeds  although I can imagine that they also tried whale bone reeds but they wouldn\'t have lasted very long.

harmonicas are a bit out of my range!  (though I did play Clementine in my 3rd grade talent show... To shouts of \"encore\" I might add!)

Hey - Benny Goodman\'s clarinet is for sale on eBay - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Absolute-ORIGINAL-Benny-Goodmans-Clarinet-SELMER-9-Series-for-SALE-/281084268446?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4171ed8f9e.

Same guy (in Poland) has another one listed too, for slightly less.  Of course Benny did have a lot of horns.

Come to think of it, Benny did play my Selmer CT once, wonder how much I can get for it?  No, on second thought, it\'s not for sale...

It says that the \"Woman does not go with the instrument\".
I think she goes nicely with the instrument. At that price I thought she would\'ve. :p

Hey! I\'m left-handed!
I don\'t quite get the point of left-handed instruments-- I play guitar right-handed better than I do left-handed (Oh, wait, I\'m terrible on guitar, but it\'s the same for ukulele). It\'s just like any other skill, it depends on how you learn it, there isn\'t much of a natural predisposition.

Makes about as much sense as a left handed screwdriver.
