Subject: [kl] clarinetist interested in flute

My daughter started on clarinet 5 yrs ago and now in her senior year, she
is playing the flute for marching band, a lot lighter than the bass clarinet
shes been toting. Now she plays fute in school, clarinet in one community
band, and bass clarinet in another community band. So far no problems have
cropped up.
