I couldn't resist, mate.

i like this one 'cause it's almost from the angle that I as a clarinetist would see my instrument from...

Beautiful Clarinet, I have a plastic Selmer USA CL300. Soon I hope to get an R13 so that way I have a good Clarinet for college.

I love this photo. :] The clarinet looks so...antique with the way the light hits the keys.
Is it a Buffet? [I have limited clarinet knowledge; I play flute. xD]

YAY! I got something clarinety correct! 
My boyfriend has a B-12, but he plays tuba now. It's been at my house, since I attempted to learn it. xD

IT IS. R13 = AMAZINGLY MIND-BLOWINGLY EPIC.
(Though Harvey informed us sometime last semester that Buffet's are made sharp, so if you're out of tune, mess with the bell before you do anything else. :3 Just a random tidbit. haha.)

You are quite welcome! :]
So yeah, in sectionals one day she had us all push in the barrel and middle, and pull out the bell about the width of a quarter - yeah, I know. It's a LOT. But that's what she recommended! And then we saw where we were after that and adjusted from there. I'd definitely give it a try, it's a good trick. :]

ZOMG R13 FTW.
I'm so jealous. I've got a lousy plastic Artley that's great for marching band but not so awesome for concert season. *sigh*
I adore the lighting in this picture.
It kinda looks more like a drawing than a photo, which is always a good thing. :]

really? huh....
and I gots the R13 thankies to my sis who played it before me. lol. Sometimes you gotta love hand-me-downs....

Oh, yes. Hand-me-downs are awesome. But my grandpa plays bass bone, my mom played flute, and my dad played violin. No chance of getting a good hand-me-down clarinet from anybody in my family.
