The Esprit is an entry-level professional instrument. While many might consider
it a "student" instrument, it is, in fact, as good a clarinet as those
played by professionals hardly a generation ago. It is similar to the Infinit?
in playing features but characteristically has more definition in tone and agility
in response.
