If an E flat clarinet is referred to as an eefer, then should a B flat clarinet be known as a beefer?!
Just wondering....

Sharon,
That is probably one of the most insightful oberservations ever made on this BB :-).

No...it would just be out of tune anyway, so it does not matter

No. An Eefer retains its name so well due to the high "EEEEEEEEEEEE" sound that it (and perhaps its audiences) are sometimes known to make.
(This coming from someone who just bought a fantastic R13 Eefer)

Hey, I do not understand it!
What is a beefer? It is not in my small dictionary.
I can look in my big dictionary but I am too lazy...
Please someone help. This must be very important discussion and I do not want to miss it!!!

Sound associations.
An EeFer is a name given to an E(e)-F(lat) instrument.
So a B(ee)F(lat) instrument is a BeeFer.
Very profound, and exceedingly important - at lest on a par with a presidential election.

It is not even in my great big dictionary!
I thought it is some funny word making Sharons' question funny, but that is not true...
Closest match was beefier:
more muscular or robust,
more large and impressively powerfull or
more tasting like a beef.
How old is Sharon? Any ideas?

A famed guitarist plays Lucille
And a cellist of note plays Petunia
But the A clarinet is funny
It is always hard to tuna

On Broadway, the clarinet doubles are referred to as:
"Try it on your Bb...Eb...Bass...Contra (usually Eb)..."
Interestingly, your additional horns are never called "triples," but rather, "your double, your second double...third double, forth double, etc."
Stuff you can't find in those musical dictionaries.

CPW: are your truffles alcohol filled? If yes I suggest you eat much more of them and write more poems. I think this thread is the only place on this board you can place it to... Do not miss this chance!
Also another ideas hidden for years in shame should be posted here.
Nobody will be accused of being stupid and childish...
This is a thread of unlimited freedom!
Hoooray!

Stepan:
No alcohol in the truffles
By an oboist they were made
No white sugar either
Just calories, I'm afraid
For posts of humor...I mostly feel free
Only rarely am I corked by the Gods
GBK and MC sporadically tinker with me
Would that the same were true
with more sanguinous clods

The rules of this board are quite few.
You don't need a judicial review.
No ads and no selling,
Don't criticize spelling.
From Mark C and myself - we thank you.

Seepee:
Non alkoholic candies are boring. Just sweet. Huh.
Today I ate whole chocolate. It was sweet.
There were dried shrinked balls of wine in it.
It was good.
I am a bit confused. Who is the oboist? You? Are you a man or woman?
Will you tell me how to make that truffles?
Please.
I will make some special version.

It was the ever-wry Tony Pay who, on the Klarinet Mailing list some time ago, decided that since an eefer was an E-flat clarinet, and a beefer was a B-flat clarinet, then the very tiny A-flat clarinet would be an afer (or ayfer), while the A-natural clarinet should be an anal. However, as I remember, he was hooted down for that thought.

Todd,
There was me thinking I'd thought of something original. Ah well!

TONY SAYS AYER WHEN ITS A FLAT

After viewing the graph for the "A FLAT CLARINET IN ACTION" , it appears to me as though it may have an intonation problem. Probably could use some fraising.

On a similar note (sic) I heard a proctologist play one once...She had good intonation, but questionable fraising. (Muhaha!)
