Prehaps I'm the one and only member in Japan.
This is my first post to KLARINET.

Please let me introduce myself.
My name is Gengo Suzuki. I am 29 years old.
I have been member of KLARINET for about one month.
I have played clarinet for 17 years.
I belong in an amateur band, but I have been absent
for about an half year because of my busy work.

My instruments are
B clarinet: Buffet Crampon RC prestige
A clarinet: Buffet Crampon RC
Es : Yamaha
mouthpiece: Vandoren B40
Reed : Vandoren 3.

I have played in BrassBand for almost whole my clarinet life.
In Japan brassbands are very polular as in USA.
I played many pieces (sometimes solos) in brassband such as Respigi,
Wagner, Ravel, Bach...and so on.
In Japan bands of junior and senior high school play very very
difficlut pieces such as Daphnis of Ravel or Peroushka of Stravinsky.
(I don't know the situation of USA.)

I think that in Japan there are less information about clarinet than in USA.
For example I did't know about the book of reed till I read KLARINET mail.
I thank KLARINET very much for useful information and discussion.
I'd like to participate in discussions if I can contribute.
