Answer 1

Is there a music shop near where you live? They often have a notice board where musicians can place wanted/for sale ads as well as trying to meet people who would like to form a band.

Otherwise, try the local free-ads paper, or, just a thought, ask at your local school to see if they have a visiting music teacher who teaches the clarinet. Often, they loan out instruments to kids so they can try it out before the parents have to buy their own instrument. The teacher may just know of a child looking to buy a second hand clarinet. We both bought and sold a flute for our daughter this way.

Hey Jazz :)

I was in Cash Converter's in Ipswich the other week and I noticed that they sell clarinet's and that they also buy them from you too! If you after a quick sale then this could be a good option.

The only problem is that you need to be over 18 for them to buy something from you so you would have to take your mum or something.

Good Luck and I hope you can raise enough money for your laptop
