Linsey Pollak drills out a carrot and turns it into a clarinet and plays it, live looping with a Boss RC20 to record 3 layers....from his solo ...

What hand goes on the top part of the clarinet? Left of right?
Rats, That Means I've been playing it wrong! :(

Left! the middle 3 fingers fit the first three holes and your thumb goes at the back. Try and start getting an open G first. This note is one wihout any fingers! Get the shape of your mouth right first then add the fingers

Ok i need to know fast if a Monique brand clarinets are any good?

No, it's not.

Try Yamaha, Buffet E11, or LeBlanc. All are good quality instruments, with Buffet E11 being the top student model wooden clarinet.

A clarinet will last as long as you let it. Just take good care of it and it should last for a long time. Wood clarinets last longer if you only play them indoors. Taking it outside might dry it out and make it crack.
Something you might try

I am a university student and want to major in clarinet. I was just wondering what clarinet would be the best for that and also for playing in symphonic band and wind ensemble for the university. I never bought a clarinet before. The clarinet I own

If you are looking to buy a clarinet that will last you the rest of your life, the very best way to go is with a Buffet R-13.
If you want a clarinet that will last you through college, look into a Yamaha YCL 52 or YCL 72.
Whichever...
