I have owned many clarinets throughout my life. So why Duo Music now?
Here’s the story:
Each year, I attend the NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) international show in Los Angeles to see the newest and best being offered. I was on a quest to find a new clarinet for myself. I played a lot of clarinets, from inexpensive imports to clarinets selling for thousands of dollars.
I eventually came to the Duo Music booth and tried their clarinets—the rest is history. They played remarkably well, sounded fantastic, were well made, and were reasonably priced. So, I purchased a Duo Music Shine 2 clarinet for myself. Returning to Colorado, I sold my Selmer Series 9 clarinet to a friend and haven’t looked back.
