 General Characteristics for Classical vs Jazz
Author: paul

I'd like to ask a question on general tone production on clarinets and how it could fit better into two sometimes radically different styles of music. So, here goes...

Dark sound: Is this typically what's wanted in most classical music? i.e. Buffet's R-13 and related family being recognized marques in this portion of the live music industry (not meaning to inadvertently disparage any other horn, just using a single model as a widely recognized example)

Bright sound: More desired for jazz? i.e. Big bore Selmers being similar marques in this portion of the live music industry (ditto comment above)

I'll have to agree that this is a very long stretch for the sake of discussion, but I'd like to get much better qualified and expert opinions on the subject.

Opinions? Comments? Flames? Go for it. I'll learn from it all. Who knows? Maybe if I behave myself and save a few nickels and dimes every now and then, perhaps I too could afford to have a small collection of diverse clarinets to make an informed opinion on this subject. Until then, I'll keep playing my only clarinet, which happens to be a member of the Buffet R-13 family.

...and yes, I'd also like to hear opinions from LeBlanc and Yamaha, and Rossi, and Peter Eaton (etc.) owner/players, too.
