Re: chosing clarinets

Author: John_May  Date:   2004-08-17 16:16 How lucky you were to start out on an E11... at any rate, I agree with the stated reccommendation of the RC due wholly to personal bias However, the only way to really be certain is to try a few horns to see which you prefer. As for the left hand Eb lever, I'm of two minds about it. I have one on my clarinet, and use it all the time; it's extraordinarily convenient. Unfortunately, I'm addicted to it. This means that I have issues playing on Clarinets that don't have one, because I always go to hit the key and miss, with invariably disastrous results. So in the one sense, it's very helpful, but in the long run, you might find that it limits what Clarinets you're able to easily play... I've never pursued the possibility of an Eb lever custom-added to a horn, but I'm sure it's most likely not such a good idea
