Almost all beginner clarinetists choose the Boehm system — it is the international standard and the easiest to find in music lessons; the German system (Oehler) remains specific to Central European professional instruments. The ABS resin body is the right choice for a beginner student: it withstands temperature and humidity variations well, unlike the more maintenance-demanding grenadilla wood, which has a warmer sound preferred by advanced players. Most school clarinets are in Bb — clarinets in Eb (smaller and sharper) or A appear at orchestral or conservatory level.
For a first clarinet, a Boehm model with an ABS body, just under 720, is our basic choice for a student — see the Parrot Clarinet Boehm 7401 S. We have over 55 active clarinet models, from student instruments to advanced variants, signed by Yamaha and other renowned brands, plus all the accessories: reeds, mouthpieces, cases.
