"My Years Of Work As A Performer, Teacher And Designer Have Made Me Acutely Aware That Young Players Need Instruments Which Play Better Than Most Professional Instruments, Not Worse.  The Tr-147 Is The Concrete Realization Of This Ideal.  No Other Clarinet, Whatever The  Price, Plays With More Fluidity, Dependability And Ease; The Very Qualities Necessary For The StudentıS Technical And Musical Success."

Tom Ridenour
Clarinet Designer, Performer & Educator

"IıVe Never Experienced Such Uniformity Of Tone Through All Registers As This Tr-147 Can Produce...Scarcely In A Professional Instrument And Never In A Student Model. Tom RidenourıS New Tr-147 Is My Hands-Down Choice For A Student Clarinet."
