The Best Clarinet For Beginners

It is a very important process to purchase a clarinet for beginners. A musician's first clarinet sets the foundation for their clarinet experience and education. It is not necessary for a beginner clarinetist to be playing on an advanced to professional clarinet, but they should play on a high quality student clarinet that sells at a reasonable price. A beginner clarinetist's first clarinet should be in good enough shape that it won't hold them back from progressing their clarinet skills.


1.Student Bb Clarinets

The body of this clarinet is made out of ABS plastic which is less vulnerable to temperature and humidity changes. It is also a safer material for young beginner clarinetists. The ABS is matted, giving it a professional look.


Even though this clarinet is not made out of the Grenadilla wood used in intermediate to professional models, this clarinet's tone resembles a professional clarinet tone. It is warm and resonant.


This clarinet features an adjustable thumb rest that is perfect for beginner clarinetists, especially if they have small hands and fingers. The clarinetist can adjust the thumb rest to whichever position feels most comfortable.


Along with the adjustable thumb rest, this clarinet also features a ring to hold a neck strap. A neck strap is helpful for clarinetists who have muscle strains in their fingers or wrists. This happens more commonly in clarinetists who have smaller hands.


The bell of this clarinet is newly designed, so it offers better projection, intonation, and resonance. The pads are Valentino pads which are said to be more durable, easier to repair, and less sensitive to fluctuations in temperature. 


2.Buffet Crampon E12 F

The Buffet Crampon E12 F clarinet is a relatively new student clarinet. This beginner clarinet is made out of Grenadilla wood, a material that most intermediate to professional clarinets are made out of.


This buffet clarinet is based on Buffet's most popular Bb clarinet, the Buffet R13. It has a slightly larger bore than the Buffet R13, allowing for easier blowing.
