There are many makes and models of woodwind instruments to choose from. Buffet, LeBlanc, Selmer, and Yamaha are a few popular choices. However, what is most important is what fits “you” just right. Everyone’s teeth, lips, and jaws are completely different. Look for an instrument in which you do not have to “force” sound through. The instrument that feels the most comfortable and natural is probably the best one. For more advanced players, consider what sound you are trying to achieve: Buffet tends to produce a brighter sound, while LeBlanc produces a darker, rich tone.
