Subj: couple questions
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 1998 00:03:50 -0400

Hi everyone:

I have a few questions:

1) I recently bought a Morgan RM-10 mouthpiece from my teacher. She said
it's a really good mouthpiece, and I tried it and it sounded great. Has
anyone had experience with Morgan mouthpieces ?

2) Ok, this also is about my new mouthpiece. I have Vandoren reverse
ligature and it seems loose on the Morgan mouthpiece. When I try to switch
mouthpieces between my Bb and my A clarinet, the ligature always comes loose
(the screws are tightened all the way). I've put tons of cork grease on so
that the mouthpiece comes off easily, but the ligature still slides around a
lot. Is there anything I can do ?

3) I need to get a recording of Weber's second clarinet concerto, in Eb
major, I think. I'm playing it in a few weeks for the all-state audition and
I need to hear a couple recordings of it.

That's all for now, although I'm sure there will be plenty more in the future.
Thanks !
