What key clarinet does Barbaros Erkose play? I heard him last night here in Washingtpon, DC, at the Freer Gallery (as part of the Anour Brahem Trio). Wow!

I don't know what he's playing on this tour because I had a rehearsal the night the Brahem trio played here in Mpls. (WAH!)
Typically he plays a low G Albert system clarinet.

Thanks, Katrina! I couldn't see his clarinet very well, and I guess I was expecting that he'd be playing a Bb. The concert as incredible. --Bill.

He's fabulous isn't he?  I wish I knew what brand clarinet he plays. As far as I know, he plays a wooden one, but I don't know the make. I have a Turkish metal G clarinet (Albert) that drives me nuts. It always wants to slip out of my hands. This summer I had the opportunity to try a guy's wooden G Albert system. It's an Orsi and I fell in love with it. It is much easier just to hold on to than my metal one...Now, anyone have a spare $1000 American so I can get one of those?
I got to hear Ivo Papazov the other night and I'm still feeling it!! That was my idea of paradise!!!!

Bill, I was wondering (because I just want to be sure), was it a wooden or metal clarinet that Barbaros was playing?
Also, you guys in America are so lucky the musicians that you get to see...
hey ho
cheers

Aw, c'mon Seamus,
There's a huge boatload of Macedonians somewhere in Australia...
I'm sure there is a musician or two among them...
LOL

It was a wood clarinet I THINK. The stage lights were bright and would have made a Hans Moennig Buffet look shiney. But I think the clarinet was "black."
The concert was thrilling. Deeply-felt, careful, and highly musicianly music (Brahem is a genuius of a composer as well as player). To me, music that makes you just want to RUN home and play is the best kind of music. This was that!
