All Student Clarinets feature power forged nickel-plated keys and come complete with plush hard case, mouthpiece, cleaning swab, metal cap and ligature and a 1 Year Factory Warranty
For a long time I have been looking for no frills, low cost entry level student instruments that we could sell as an alternative to rental instruments. I have evaluated many different low cost instruments from all over the world and have found the vast majority of them to be totally unsuitable because of poor construction or fit, poor key action or poor note centering and playability. I have found that the Winston, Barclay, Iolite and Maestro Clarinets have consistantly good quality with an very good bright Nickel plated lightweight key action, very good fit of the body, good quality finish, good quality hard shell case and most important of all very good ease of blowing performance.
I am a musician and have been playing for over 45 years. It's been my experieance that more students have been "turned off" and lose their desire to learn to play by poorly constructed cheap instruments or poorly maintained "rental" instruments that even a professional musician can't get to blow properly than all of the other reasons combined.
I'm not saying that these instruments are in the same league with or as good as an Amati, LeBlanc, Buffet or Olds, etc. by any stretch of the imagination, they are all far more expensive instruments and should be better! What I am saying is that these instruments are a very good quality no frills student instrument that are properly constructed and are easy to blow properly for a begining student to learn on.
When you look at the alternative of renting an instrument that may or may not have been properly maintained or buying a used or "cheap" instrument that most likely will not play properly, these instruments become the perfect alternative for a beginning musician.
Because I feel strongly that you will be very pleased with your purchase, we offer you a 30 Day Satisfaction Guaranty, simply return the instrument in it's original condition and in it's original packaging to us for full credit toward the purchase of a different "name brand" instrument from us or a refund less our original $15.00 shipping charge that is included in the price.
