Let the tooting and honking begin!…read more My fifth grade daughter identifies clarinetist (after trying all the many wind instruments one school day in August). Which means, a clarinet purchase was in my near future. Thank goodness for West Music. I popped on their website and found the options (resin or wood, premium brand or standard). I selected my choice and signed up easily for a four year payment plan-- that included a $9 a month peace of mind charge for repairs. Clarinets aren't cheap but luckily if my daughter decides clarinet isn't for her; West Music will purchase it back from us no questions asked. Phew. The clarinet was ready for pickup at this location. (I received a call, text and email reminder.) Evan was super pleasant and helpful. I have a long road with West Music as the tooting and honking clarinetist continues on over the years-- I have a good feeling it'll be a great experience. Stay tuned.
