A good, name brand, student model mouthpiece for the Bb Clarinet will cost in the neighborhood of $20 to $30. Inexpensive mouthpieces can be had for less, but it's hard to be sure how well they will play.

Step-up mouthpieces for more advanced players will probably cost $50 or more, and for professional level pieces, the sky's the limit. It's not uncommon to see professional mouthpieces that cost $200 or more.

Once a student has established a strong consistent embouchure, and can play the full range of the clarinet, (probably after a few years of lessons) a better mouthpiece that suites his/her embouchure will make a significant difference - often more so than a new step-up clarinet. at this level, mouthpieces should be tried with reeds of differing strengths to find what works best for an individual student. There's no best mouthpiece for all students.

How much would one part of a clarinet cost?

Pricing is different for parts. You also have to consider what materials it is made of, for example, a crystal mouthpiece would be more expensive than most students' whole clarinet together. If you need a replacement part for your clarinet ask in a music store - do NOT buy online.

The serieal number is usually found at the bottom of the upper joint. The value of your clarinet will depend on several factors, some of which include the condition of the corks and pads, is the silver worn, and had the instrument been well cared for. I suggest taking it to a dealer or instrument technician for an honest evaluation.


How much is a Selmer London gold seal clarinet worth?

It depends on its condition, but there are a lot of Series 9s popping up on the Internet. That, combined with it being thought of as a 'jazz' clarinet as opposed to a 'classical' clarinet has been dropping their value. I've seen Bb sopranos (the 'regular' kind of clarinet) advertised for around $500. I've seen them advertised for $1500.

How does the clarinet look?

It looks like am much larger recorder. It has a few extra keys and a reed which is a small wooden piece that you suck on and then put into the liguture which is two screws which keep the mouthpiece together. The last piece is called a bell and it looks like a bell on the outside. The clarinets inside looks like a cylinder with a tiny piece of it sticking out slightly in one spot.


Are bass and reguler clarinets the same?

No, a bass clarinet and regualr clarinet are not the same. A bass clarinet is much bgger and produces lower notes than a regular clarinet. However, they do have the same fingerings for a note. I play the bass clarinet and the reular clarinet play the same notes and t he fingering are the same but the bass is alot lower. They have there own music. They are similar in ways and different in others.


Which is a better Clarinet Selmer Bundy or Selmer CL300?

Both the CL-300 and 301 are very good student instruments. The CL-300 was produced during the 1990s (1990-1999) and has a glossy finish. The CL-301 comes with a satin finish that Selmer refers to as "simulated wood", but both are good quality plastic instruments. The older Selmer/Bundy instruments were, in their heyday, among the most ubiquitous (and less expensive) student instruments that you could buy. They were pretty reliable but were targeted for the beginner(s). Still good to keep around during high school for marching band (outside) drilling and performances, but the CL-300/301 series are, IMO, better quality instruments.
