There are several good clarinet brands. Yamaha, Noblet (pronounced no-blay), Normandy (made by Noblet), Buffett (pronounced buf-fay),Selmer, and Conn (Artley). Consult with your band director about the brand he/she prefers. If you are stepping up to high school look into a wood clarinet as opposed to synthetic.
