Hired a Clarinet from Musical Instrument Hire for my 17 year old son who really wanted to learn to play, but I didn't want to invest in one in case he changed his mind. I hired a reconditioned Buffet Clarinet for a very reasonable price with the option to purchase. Have received many comments from very experienced marching band players about what a good quality clarinet it was. Very easy process from initial hiring of the instrument through to purchasing 6 months later, when all the payments made so far contributed to the price of the clarinet. Great customer service, excellent instrument. Highly recommended.
