Reviews around deal (5.00 of 5)

  • Great deal for the price, has a thin tone but gets the job done.
  • It turns out I have been having an uphill battle with the Costco clarinet as I need to press both the low E and F pretty hard at the same time to get the E to sound well or a B in the 2nd register.
  • When adding everything required we would have spent a great deal more so we decided to search Amazon and found this one.
  • Seemed like a great deal in the beginning, however a few months in, some of the screws were loose and something else bent
  • It looks like it is well made, sounds great and the bag and accessories that come with it certainly sweeten the deal.
