Hi Clare

first...mp's.....although I have 3 eefers, I'm not proficient on it as I was 30 yrs ago. I've tried numnerous brand/model mps and have come down to 3..... Bay, Fobes and believe it or not, a stock Selmer C*. Of the first two, the Bay seems a little brighter. The C* seems to just 'work', period. All 3 play equally well with a Vand #3. I found using a BG Revelation works best with either mp (personally, the super Rev w/gold plate is a gimmick). The local symphony 2sd/eefer went from a B40 to B45 to a Hite.
Insofar as Son of Satan, I would guess that any instrument is if one dosen't practice on it. Granted, perhaps more so with an eefer or piccolo. This past summer, however, at the OK Clarinet Symposium, Mz. Diane Cawein performed several recital pcs on Eb as well as Bassi's Gran Duo Concertato (Eb/Bb duet). Her performance was a joy to hear and superb !
