Hi!
I’ve recently started playing the clarinet and I’ve been playing for about a month now. I’ve mostly used YouTube tutorials, mainly from QuickStart clarinet. I’m an intermediate-advanced cellist, so knowing how to practice well, has really helped me. I’m mainly looking for tips about technique. All help is welcome!

Found it on finn(a Norwegian used marketplace)Bought used for 500$, and I intend to play it.

Seller description:
Crucianelli Elite semi-hollow electric guitar in classic Sunburst finish with two humbuckers. Features a vibrato arm, four control knobs, and f-holes.
Built in the 1960s, widely regarded as the golden age of Italian guitar production in Castelfidardo, Italy.
Brand history: Crucianelli produced high-quality hollowbody and semi-hollow guitars under its own name, the Elite brand, and alternative brands such as España and Tonemaster. They also manufactured legendary models for export partners, most notably the Challenger and Lynx series for Vox.
Includes a virtually unused Hiscox Pro II L2 hard case. These currently retail for over 300$.
The guitar suffered an impact at some point before I owned it. This resulted in damage and cracking to the finish only, not to the guitar’s structure. It would also benefit from a setup.
I prefer a local sale so the buyer can inspect the guitar before purchasing. The guitar is being sold as is, with no guarantees.

Did I do a good deal?

Because I don’t have a lot of money, and I’m a beginner, I bought some chinese rackets from AliExpress(Image Below). What are your experiences with buying rackets/balls from AliExpress?
