R13 test

I am interested in hitting the notes hard and rapid tonguing in the clarion register as easily as the low register, or as it is on the alto sax for that matter. Try a Selmer CP100 mpc at the 1.22mm facing with only a 1 1/2 Vandoren reed. This is a mpc with a really big chamber and a gradual medium facing. On any clarinet you can go up through the lower altissimo register, and this setup will allow the most fluid sound emission possible in the lower clarion register, typically lacking. Then try switching over to the R13 and you will be very pleased if you can go higher. That is the test. And I think that the Buffet will win. Either way, you want a better clarion register for tonguing. Is there a trade-off? I guess so. But anything above three octaves is still pretty good. My sound is easy to judge, Ken Use a number 2 for outdoors.
