How appropriate is this for a beginner clarinet player?

The WX-5 is a fun and worthwhile instrument for any skill level, but I think any beginning player on another instrument would do better by concentrating on that instrument for at least a year or two before trying another instrument, including the WX-5. The WX-5 as I recall offers several fingering alternatives, including saxophone but not clarinet.

I believe so. My daughter is in 7th grade and learning to play the clarinet. So far she loves it and this particular set comes with everythg you need.

Yes, this trumpet is an excellent "Student Starter" trumpet and is more than adequate for a beginner!

I don't think the clarinet model is relevant as the ligature goes on the mouthpiece. I use a Suzuki clarinet (hard rubber) and Suzuki mouthpiece with no problem in fact it increased the response. I have since upgraded my mouthpiece to a Vandoren B45. and it has made a vast improvement. Hoping this helps.

Yes. It is a decent beginner board. Cheap enough. If he is good he will graduate to a better one, if not, it won't make that much dent on the wallet.

It is a nice instrument for the beginner with good projection and tone, but yes, it is laminate.

Use a C. Good harmonica for the beginner would be a special twenty by Hohner.

I didn't fully understand your question. PB is quite good and has good reputation, but some harmonicas in my package came with some maladjusted reeds. I don't know if it's common, but I think so. You should always visit a luthier to adjust the kids. And answering your question, if I understand well, the PB is very sensitive, as all the good harmonicas. You have to be very gentile on draws and blows, expecting to have some good and appropriated mic to get all the sound you need. Play gentile and let the mic do the rest.

Yes it is very appropriate. Matter of fact appropriate for all ages. I use it myself to stay tuned up for my softball league.

yes. It is a nice flute for beginner, my daughter likes it. But the flute teacher has told us that we need to change to a new one soon.

I bought it as a beginner and really enjoy it, even now. It is good quality and produces a good tone. The sound is not "professionally" good, but will definitely do for learning as a beginner. The wood is good and sturdy, not to mention the appeal of it is great. Hope I helped!!!

This is not top of the line but it is one that will work for a beginner. The strings might hurt their fingers until callus are built. When you find that you or your child is committed to learning and has a real passion for violin then I would purchase a better one.

I think the most common is C. but its related with the music you want to play, I love the bass tone of the G harmonicas but its not always the best for all songs. C is a good choice for the first Harmonica, but if your grand daugther loves to play it, she will finally get like 4 or 5 harmonicas and also the Hohner HB-6 Harmonica, for carrying all her Harmonicas. I think you dont have to buy expensive harmonicas at first, try to give her a beginner harmonica and see if she really loves it. Ive given several harmonicas to enthusiastic teenagers who finally dropped the instrument. so it's not worthy to spend a lot of money for a begginer. later youll see and perhaps you will buy for her a "Lee Oskar" or a "Marine Band".

Flutes need to be tuned every time they are assembled, so you will want to have a tuner of some kind as well. As for whether it is a good flute, I found it to be good for its range; it has a nice sound, I think, a warmer and sweeter sound than some, to my ears at least. However, each flute is different, and so is everybody's taste; if you have the opportunity to do so, I would very much recommend that you go to a shop selling the instruments and try listening to several and find which one you like.

All other things being equal, a wood clarinet will be superior. However, it will also be more expensive and more "delicate" in the sense that you will not want to damage it playing outdoors in bad weather. The B12 is a student clarinet but it is a very good quality student model. I purchased it for my child, whom I don't yet trust with an expensive wood model. The B12 that we purchased has a rich tone and superior sound to the Yamaha student model that I initially rented for her.

no, you get what you get. All of the harmonicas in my case have at least one reed that I can't get to play right. I have not taken them apart yet. I play all of them regularly, and most of the reeds have gotten loose so i can bend them easily, but these are not expensive instruments, and you get what you pay for. I use them when I travel, so if I lose one or something, it is not big deal. For performance, you need instruments with a pearwood comb and decent quality reeds.

This melodica like all of them are certainly easier for someone with piano or keyboard experience. But, for the price, it would be fine, even for someone with limited piano experience or ability. Hope this helps
