From the John Packer website: Suitable for:
The John Packer JP223 Eb clarinet is a favourite amongst schools, music services and training bands within the UK. For the more advanced musician it is an affordable Eb to use as a second instrument within concert bands, orchestras, shows and clarinet choirs.
Unique benefits:
Constructed from robust ebonite wood grain finish for the body of the clarinet, and a strong nickel plate full set keywork. Having a full set keywork allows note alternatives to be used as well as an extended range.
I bought this in June/July 2015 to trial this notoriously difficult instrument and have played it a few times on that basis. It is as new and plays well, good tone, and is ideal for a student for a school band/orchestra as a second instrument as the comments above suggest. I am selling due to upgrading to a higher grade instrument. It comes with an additional Yamaha 4C mouthpiece, case as per the photographs.
