Purchased this for my middle-schooler who is just starting out. It's also worth noting that I own a Jean Paul tenor saxophone, which Jean Paul got absolutely right at the price-point for that instrument.
This instrument continues that ideal, being well built with pads properly installed and aligned. The instrument passed the light test (all valves closed, look for light up the barrel) out of the box. All corks were properly aligned and installed and required no fitting work, just simple lubrication with the included balm and the instrument fit together without any concerns.
The fit and finish matches the build quality, which appears on par with "beginner" instruments costing twice as much if not more. All linkages were properly tuned at the factory, and the action is consistent across the keys.
The instrument's tone matches that of other "beginner" instruments, to the untrained ear, this would not be immediately discernable from most "intermediate" instruments costing four or five times more. Used with 2.5 reeds the clarinet resonates well, and as a player you can tell that some time and engineering was put to good use in its construction.
Finally the case is supportive and I feel will protect this instrument well through the rough-and-tumble adventures of middle school and beyond, the case has few/no frills, and one outside pocket for cleaning kit storage and incidentals such as reeds.
I would recommend this product to those who wish to learn to play the clarinet but aren't a fan of the prices that some current "beginner" instruments are commanding on the market these days.

Good Clarinet For the Price, Responsive Manufacturer
After not playing for more than 10 years, I decided that I wanted to get back into playing. I watched some reviews on student clarinets to see which brands came up as being a good value brand that sounded good enough for my own purposes. I kept seeing Jean Paul coming up over and over again as a good price for performance. So, I gave them a try. Overall, I think I picked the best instrument for me for the price. I do suggest that you invest in better quality reeds and swabs than what come with this one. The ligature may give first time players a lot of trouble, so I would suggest the CL-300 over CL-400 if you are trying to decide and do not have a standard ligature to swap in if the Rico H Ligature becomes to cumbersome for young learners.I did remove one star because the longer barrel had an unsecured piece of trim upon arrival (in the photographs). I had to contact Jean Paul and they quickly remedied this by sending me a brand new barrel within a week. Overall, this would be a great instrument for those looking to get back into playing without spending too much money. I would not call this exactly a step up from my plastic Selmer Bundy that I learned to play on.
