I never got a chance to see if there were any responses for this post because
of the unfortunate loss of names from the Klarinet, so I will repost it,
because it is very important to me.
This may sound like a dumb question (it probably is, but I'll ask anyway),
but is it important to have a matched set of soprano (Bb, Eb, A) clarinets.
I have a Leblanc Concerto Bb, and would like to get a matching Eb, but I
don't have quite enough money yet for it, however, I do have enough for other
brands.
i'm looking at the Patricola, and could somebody please tell me:
1)Is it professional?
2)What are its features?
3)What are you personal experiences with it?
4)Why did you buy or not buy it?
5)What kind of set-up (mouthpiece, ligature, reeds) in general, or
specifically work well with the horn?
What are other good models of professional Ebs? (I don't like Buffet or
Selemer,. I'm not sure about Yamaha...)
Thanks you very much,
Chris
