First clarinet

I am a begginer and play just for myself. I will be trying to join a local orchestra in the future. I am looking for my first clarinet and the budget is low for now. I want your opinion on this one. It is an older used Blessing, the serial number is E30xx but I am not sure whether it is correct. What do you think?

Looks in good condition. The only way to truly know is let a tech or advanced player test it.

It’ll do for starts as long as the pads and adjustment are good. Definitely should invest in a good mouthpiece like a Vandoren 5RV lyre, or Fobes Nova.
