This is a GREAT instrument. My son has been playing his LJ Hutchen clarinet for a year now and he has never had a problem. His band instructor couldn't believe how well it was made and how little we paid for it. She has even checked out the company's website and is now recommending this brand to the rest of the class. Great clarinet!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A top-notch student instrument, January 16, 2009

As an elementary and middle school band director, I have seen many students come to band with substandard, cheaply-made instruments. Recently a sixth grade student came to class with a new LJ Hutchen clarinet. Admittedly, I was worried that it might be another shoddy brand...but boy was I wrong! This is a fantastic instrument for any student player. The low notes are full and rich, the high range is easily accessed, and the tone quality is superb. I am very impressed with the LJ Hutchen line and plan to recommend LJ Hutchen band instruments to all of my band students and parents. This is an extremely impressive and durable instrument of the highest quality!

I ordered this clarinet for my nephew, who said he was not continuing on with the school band program in the fall because he didn't own his own instrument. The clarinet was shipped right away and I received it within 24 hours of placing the order. I opened the clarinet and everything looked to be of very high quality. I had a little trouble putting the instrument together (maybe because of the humidity of summer in Boston). I will leave the instrument assembled for a couple days before giving it to my nephew for his birthday in July so that it will be easier for him to assemble it. I put the reed on and tried playing a few scales (I played the saxophone up until high school) and was surprised to learn how easy the notes came out (much easier than when I tried my nephews school-owned clarinet a couple of months ago). So far, I am very pleased with this purchase and will recommend LJ Hutchen instruments to others.
