For a first clarinet in Johns Creek, choose one that feels comfortable to hold and whose keys your fingers can reach without strain.

At Music & Arts and Le Music Instrument, you can see clarinets and compare how they feel in your hands. Ask the lesson teacher to help you weigh a new instrument against a rental.
