Clarinets fascinate me, I mean they're the only instrument that makes a both flutes and trumpets look good together. What makes it even more fascinating is that it creates a  sound that's different from instruments that are commonly used in songs these days. Clarinets have this uniqueness to it that makes it stand out. And what's more is that it was made famous in my generation by the very awesome yet cranky, Squirward. I'm more of a guitar or drums fan, but if ever there comes a day that I will buy myself a clarinet and make sweet, sweet music out of it, I'll probably buy a yamaha clarinet. Why not make the best music out of the best equipment, right?
