Beautiful Clarinet For The Beginner!

Read and saw so many things about why you shouldn't buy a cheap instrument. So checked Wiki and this one is in the top 10 for beginners, decided to pull the trigger and take a chance. Glad I did it looks to be well made and sounds good when I can get it to play, not the clarinets fault as I'm still learning how to use it. Can't wait to learn it to at least play a few basic and simple songs. Only comes with 1 reed. So I went and ordered a bunch from ebay. Will be making a cleaning swab out of white cotton cloth and a white shoe lace as I'm not thrilled with what I've seen online. Love ebay and Pay Pal but they don't control what is sold. Some things are great some not so great, really pays to do research before buying. The case is very nice. Will be buying another case to hold reeds and other items needed to maintain the clarinet. Decided to buy a plastic tub that I can keep a damp sponge inside to prevent the reeds from drying out. Will use a soap container and drill holes in the top for moisture to get out to the reeds. Also ordered a neck strap to keep it from falling. Would really hate to damage or break it. It' really a sweet clarinet, hope I get many years of use out of it. :)

Pays For Itself Within One year!

Great ice maker. Love it so much, this is the second one I purchased. The first was a Knox brand, exact ice maker just different name Della. Searched everywhere for the Knox and was pleasantly surprised to find the exact unit by a different name. It has to be made by the same manufacturer. Also the Della actually works better than my first one. The medium cubes on the Della are the same as the large on the Knox. Have it placed on a wire mobile cart with 4 inch clearance around it. If you like to have ice and hate driving to get a bag cause your ice maker just cant keep up with your use, do yourself a favor and buy one of these. Without question the best small appliance I ever purchased.

Makes more ice than I can use.

This machine is really simple to use if you don't over think it. Press the snowflake once to power it on, press the snowflake once to power it off. Have no intention of using the timer even though it is a nice feature. As long as you don't over fill it with water or have the sun hitting it the ice lasts for a long time. I've had my unit off more than on because it makes more ice than I can use. It is very well made and very quite. Keep the ice shovel in it, keep a bottle of water next to it for refills and it's pretty much maintenance free. It beeps at you to let you know there's too much ice in it and beeps at you to let you know it needs water. I keep it next to my computer desk and can honestly say it's one of the best purchases I have ever made. Purchased the 3 year warranty as well. Love it so much I really don't think I can live without it now.
