Yippee! My grandad has finally decided I'm musically mature enough to take up a 'real' instrument! To prove it to him I've had to pass grade 8 bass guitar, grade 2 percussion, grade 5 recorder, grade 3 mandolin, and a proficiency exam in bagpipes! But it's all been worthwhile because now I'm ready for a 'real' instrument and he's given me a clarinet! I love clarinets!

P.S. Yeah, I know this post is pretty meaningless!

But this post is about clarinets! Not meaningless at all!
Welcome to the wonderful world of the clarinet!
