On the clarinets of Yamaha and Suzuki

In a word, I recommend Yamaha. After all, it is one of the brands with the highest frequency of professional performance. Of course, Yamaha's low-end series cannot be used as a criterion.

I'm rather wordy. If you are patient, please read on.

-I am the legendary dividing line.

(For the convenience of explanation, the following terms about clarinet are all called in Taiwan Province Province. Among them, "straight flute" refers to a plastic clarinet; "Wooden flute" means wooden clarinet)

To say the choice of straight flute, we must first say the most famous brand of straight flute. Take Taiwan Province Province, where clarinet is highly developed and increasingly professional and symphonic, for example, the two brands with the highest frequency and evaluation in clarinet orchestra and clarinet solo are Japanese brands Aulos and Yamaha. Although the high-end series of these two brands will be more expensive, they are very suitable for professional study and performance in terms of timbre, intonation and response. Many musicians like to play amazing and difficult music with their flutes. (I'm using the Aulos 503BE treble flute and the 509BE alto flute, which are great. )

In addition, the safest brand of domestic clarinet is Smart. Although it is not as good as brands such as Aulos and Yamaha, it is completely enough for amateur learning. Relatively low price is also suitable for flute friends with poor conditions. In addition, this brand of straight flute has been exported to more than 30 countries and regions in Europe, Asia and America.

Here are some recommended models for LZ reference. Aulos, I recommend Series 5, such as 503BE for high notes and 509BE for middle notes. This model is one of the most popular models in professional performance. Yamaha, I recommend 302 series, such as YRS 302BIII for tenor and YRA 302BIII for alto. I have never used this model, but my teacher recommended it for the first time. He said that the timbre of this model is closest to the timbre of Moeck, the top wooden flute in Germany. The other 3 14 and 3 12 are said to have the possibility of paint peeling. I recommend the "Matte Black" series in Smart. The specific model can be found in Smart official website.

Finally, you can buy wooden flutes directly if you have the conditions. Wooden flute not only has better timbre than straight flute, but also has no water blockage in normal use. But the maintenance of wooden flutes is more troublesome than that of straight flutes. It is not recommended for beginners and flute friends (especially children) who have not been properly guided to use wooden flutes. The more upscale and exquisite, the worse.
