When adding everything required we would have spent a great deal more so we decided to search Amazon and found this one.
-
It looks like it is well made, sounds great and the bag and accessories that come with it certainly sweeten the deal.
-
Great deal for the price, has a thin tone but gets the job done.
-
Seemed like a great deal in the beginning, however a few months in, some of the screws were loose and something else bent
-
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.

Reviews around color (4.30 of 5)
-
This one is purple, but it is not a cheap looking color, in my opinion
-
, it was bought for a ten year oldand she loves the color.
-
It is beautiful, don't get me wrong, but when I ordered it I really thought it would be a striking white color rather than a linen white or antique white color
-
Granddaughter picked out the color and loved it - she played it all year long, practiced, took care of it
-
This is her first year in band and we felt having her own instrument in her favorite color would be great incentive

Reviews around daughter (4.30 of 5)
-
my daughter is really happy with it, from every point of view
-
my daughter loved the clarinet and the color blew her away, why spend 175-200 a yr to rent these for school kids when you can buy then for 102.00.
-
Playing against my daughters busted rental that's missing cork pads and a screw, this is priced right for how poor it sounds
-
My daughter was very excited to get her pink clarinet but once opened it was difficult to get any sound out of it.
-
Daughter loves it - not the best, but when they're young - this is what you go with until they get better and are more careful, etc.

My kid really liked it, got a better one for a cheaper price

After that, the clarinet is very stable and sounds good (at least not bad).A cheap price doesn't necessarily mean bad quality
-
The price is nice but you get what you pay for as always
-
It's was easy to pick out for my granddaughter and the price was right

I would never recommend this instrument or any instrument similar to this (bought online for a "CHEAP" price.

It is some sort of light plastic and the sound is very squeaky

My daughter couldn't make a sound with it--the keys fell off and the cork too.

She said that the Mendini I bought for him was terrible and the sound it was producing was embarrassing
-
The sound is good and the functionality is just like the rest of the other students' clarinets.
-
The buttons did not work properly and the sound was awful.

The quality of this instrument is worse than better ones

The reeds that came with the clarinet were of very poor quality, so we just bought some different ones at the music store

Your child will struggle and it will cause difficulty and frustration because of the very poor quality in these models.

The YCL 20 model from Yamaha is made in Japan and it's very good quality

It is difficult to play any notes due to the fact that this clarinet is made from cheap plastic parts.

The cheap plastic made the instrument carry a different type of sound that a clarinet should not make.

Good price and good quality for a Clarinet that is not made of wood but hard plastic
