that looks like a good instrument for an intermediate player and it comes with a lot of cool useful extra things i don't know anything about the brand, but i think that buying a clarinet that's less money when you're still an intermediate player is a good idea

You won't get much for $100 except disappointment. It's one of those cheap China made horns and I guarantee it is a peice of chunk. You probably are better off renting a student Yamaha.

i would go for a yamaha or buffet, this clarinet is more for a new student who wants to look differant, it is plastic, has a chaep mouthpiece and probally a rubbish ligature. you would be beter of buying a used buffet or yamaha or if you are going to buy a peice of cheap chinese !***! at least buy a woodern one, then you can replace the lig and mouthpiece and have a chance at a resonble clarinet.

Conclusion- DON'T BUY THAT PEICE OF RUBBISH YOU WILL ONLY BE DISAPPOINTED!!!, don't trust instruments from china unless they are branded ones which the brands you recongnise.

Get a buffet e11- a decent wodern clarinet or if you can find one an old boosey and hawkes regent, or even a buffet b12 would be a better choice then the chinese one!

Beginner or not, I wouldn't buy any musical instrument without trying it first.
