Well, the price was certainly right, but the horn was unbelievably good!

For the price is good, if you children will use it only for 1 or 2 year it is ok.

The price was worth it considering rental for 2 years would cost more.

Not only was this brand at a better price but the reviews were very encouraging

We looked at used and new and found this to be the most reasonably price.

the offer of such good service goes a long way in my opinion of LJ Hutchen.

Great clarinet overall plus great customer service from the president himself

That's what I call great service for a quality clarinet for the price!

I contacted Hyson Music for warranty repair and got a lot of personal attention that I never expected (yes, even though I read reviews about their great service before).

Hyson music has also been a pleasure to deal with... they ship extremely fast and have great service.

But, if you want your child to succeed in music and have a positive music experience, and if you can, make it happen!

My granddaughter is thrilled and item meets music teacher's approval

My son is in his 4th grade school band and is making beautiful music with this instrument

Kudos to LJ Hutchen and Hyson Music for making such a fine clarinet available a very affordable price!

My child just joined the band at school and loves this-I found Hyson Music very lovely to deal with when I had questions-they are very attentive and helpful.

I would recommend this product for anyone wanting to play clarinet, beginner or not, especially considering the ridiculously low price!

This a great product come in three to four day and come with everything you would need like a rico 2.0 reed a chapstick thing of cork grease and also come with a weighted shwab for cleaning and has a exelent sound and the price was funamanale woodwind and brasswind was charging some clarinets brands that were comon but $400

LJ Hutchens and Hyson Music for a nice product for students looking for a Clarinet

LJ Hutchen's humble mission in providing superb quality products at reasonable price ranges has enabled many students and musicians to play at their best without sacrificing too much

The pieces are solid and beautiful, it's well constructed and doesn't squeak, and it came with everything I needed to get started, (reed, cork grease, spit rag)

Her instructor told me this piece is solid and good especially for learning students

only thing I did do was by a little nicer mouth piece for my weaker, older mouth to play on, but the one that came with it would be very suitable for a younger, new player

My daughter admired each piece before she put it together

and I was sure that my child's teacher was a snob when it came to labels until my daughter came home crying and wanted to quit band

My daughter and I were initially really excited about this clarinet, but the reality was that she quickly outgrew it.

my daughter loves it and it has saved me a boat load of money

My daughter has been playing clarinet for about 8 months, just like her mother before her, and her grandmother

My daughter is really glad and inform me the carinet is working perfectly

After doing some research and reading the excellent reviews about the LJ Hutchen, my wife and I decided to take a chance

I considered a Buffet B12 for this purpose, but read a lot of outstanding reviews for the LJ Hutchen clarinet

I finally purchased an LJ Hutchen clarinet in 2010 and an LJ Hutchen trumpet in 2011 because of the overwhelmingly positive reviews.

Was a little skeptical as someone posted a review saying the other reviews were bogus

Well, I must tell you that all of those positive reviews are very accurate

They are swapping sheet music and making beautiful melodious and soulful sounds with this wonderful clarinet!I am surprised by the tone of this instrument because it rivals the wood clarinet sound, and with proper care, will last throughout your child's school band years

I am not saying that the sound was bad, it just had a different tone and we thought it was going to be unacceptable since my daughter was invited to join the Pioneer band at school

I played the clarinet for 6 years and found it hard to produce a sound, let alone a rich, full in tune sound

However, at first we were a little nervous since the LJ Hutchen sounded different from her Jupiter

My daughter loves the case with a shoulder strap since her hands are often full.

The hard-shell case is perfect for storing the clarinet.

The case is a good bonus and the clarinet is very nice for this price point

The clarinet seems well built and came with a very nice case.

My child finds this instrument very easy to play and the case is good and protects the instrument.

But it didn't fit together well and was of shoddy quality.

To be a cheaper alternative, but better quality clarinet for the middle school to high school musician

The quality of the clarinet is excellent, and we have had no problems with it at all.

I began my search for an affordable and higher quality clarinet for my daughter

Highly recommended for anyone who is looking for affordable good quality clarinet.
