Does anyone here know of any good clarinet shops located in or near Atlanta?

Best to ask your band director or local band students.

wats your clarinet you are using now?
i tried all brands.hmm....opus is the most outstanding,as its intonation is really in tune.tone wise is even through out the whole register.selmer also make good clarinet but very expensive.recently i have tried Buffet newest family,tosca.a supreme clarinet.the best among its family member.but even more expensive then opus.
why didn`t i mention about buffet.coz i got bad experience with all the clarinet except elite and tosca.

but in the end,you have to tried it yourself.i got a leblanc symphonie 7 and a selmer signature.it works perfect for me in chamber and band performances.
Good Luck~

i have a 1966 buffet r-13 and my private lesson teacher whos been playing like 30 years says is an "awesome instrument," even compared to his, which he searched high and low for. my advice: yes, buffet clarinets are EXCELLENT!! But, you HAVE TO at least TRY a vintage one. NO, not the new "VINTAGE R-13s" that are NEW, an old one from 70`s and below, that are truthfully "vintage." the older the clarinet, the better it sounds. ALWAYS...i mean, unless it`s been cracked. but you need to have a professional check this out for you. talk to your band director, have him check out ebay or something. MY BEST ADVICE: DO NOT DO THIS ON YOUR OWN. i let my teacher take care of everything, and i have like the best clarinet in my section.
