Hi all. I have decided to take up the clarinet again just to play at home, i used to play a good few years ago at school. I dont know what sort/make to go buy though. I dont want to spend too much money as it's only a hobby (upto around £150). Any ideas / suggestions please?

For you I would suggest a Bundy, or some other student model. You could probably find something on Ebay though. (^: It think it's cool when people come back to their instruments! I'm sure you'll have fun!

usually Selmer 1000s and 1001s go for very little and seem to be good student instruments, I had one, and even though it was a student instrument, loved it, cause it was so sturdy and I could use it for marching band and it lasted.

There are plenty of used clarinets of reasonable quality out there for sale. Just keep clear of new ones being sold on e-bay for $90. For my money a Buffet B12 is the best of the student clarinets but a Yamaha, Bundy or fairly recent Jupiter should be OK for your needs.
