Hi All, Am getting a Lindo Bflat Clarinet in a few days time. (have played classical guitar and violin and a little bit of flute) But... There are no teachers in my town. And the only school around is booked solid for the next 6 months. But I found some lessons on ExpertVillage.com. It's OK to hear players talk about the instrument and give some beginners tips. But I need more. In the meantime does anyone know of any other source of free lessons while I'm waiting for a real teacher to be available. Anything will do. Every little helps. http://8notes.com/images/wink.gif

Hi.
Lindo is OK. Lots of beginners use them this side (East) of the Atlantic and have good words to say about them. Later when I'm good I'll invest in the best. Check it out at http://www.lindo.ltd.uk/viewProduct.php?ProdID=66.

So I got my Lindo Bflat clarinet. Came from a clearance sale on EBay!!! My bid of £36.99 won it. They say it's worth £200. Well, at the fourth time I picked it up I could play a full scale of C. (Either it's a good instrument or I'm a natural) Never even held a clarinet in my hands before!. Played classical guitar, a little bit of violin and a tiny piece of flute. The Lindo has a clear tone, no squeaks. Nobody seems to have heard of Lindo, but it was easy to play and sounded OK to me and my wife. Anyway, I like it and am eager to learn and progress. Maybe next year I'll get an expensive one.

Finally got a teacher in this town of mine. Hurray.
