Hi. I'm new. Obviously.
I'm a brass player, mainly trumpet, thinking of experimenting with a licorice stick. Normally I wouldn't want to, but I don't think I can hear Acker Bilk play 'Stranger on the shore' one more time without giving one of these things a go. I'm wondering whether I should plump for a Clarineo, having heard and seen some Youtube vids, or whether I should go for a cheap Bb 'real' clarinet, such as those sold by Gear4music (yes, I know - Chinese!). My trumpets and close relations are all pro horns, but I'd appreciate your thoughts on getting a cheap beginner job, bearing in mind, I'd be teaching myself, and just messing with it for the fun of it.
Thanks
