I bought this Orchestra Clarinet for my husband for our 32 wedding anniversary. Since I knew nothing about musical instrements, I depended heavily on the reviews to help me make my choice with my purchase. My husband was thrilled with his clarinet! So I thank you for that, I was however dissapointed with the postal carriers with the way the package arrived. The package was crushed and opened. I thought the instrument would be destroyed, but due to the care in the packing of foam carrying case, I believe that is what spared the clarinet from being destroyed! Thank you for that!!! I was very happy that it arrived just in time for our anniversary. I ordered one week before our anniversary and it arrived within four days! I have been very happy with every pruchase and would purchase again in the future. The price is great, the sound, fabulous, delivery, better than on time, and service, excellent! Thank you, thank you, thank you,
